© Foundation Environmental Protection & Research-FEPR. The relevance of the article is because the modern era of globalization and rapid digital development requires timely transformation of all social institutions, including the Institute of higher education, which in turn entails a change in the environment of the educational environment for University teachers themselves, which affects their health, workload and personal life. The article considers the ecology of the educational environment as a factor of health saving of teachers in the conditions of reforming education and science. It is shown that in the modern University in the conditions of reform the ecology of the educational environment for teachers is violated: in universities there are no conditions necessary to find a certain balance that would allow quickly and easily perform the full range of diverse tasks facing teachers, there are no formed templates, programs that would simplify the process of working with electronic document circulation. Now, all the requirements set by the management only complicate, not optimize the work of teachers, which in turn violates the ecology of the educational environment of teachers. It is determined that most of their working time teachers spend not on teaching and working with students, but on electronic document management, filling out various types of papers, working with a computer both for themselves and for senior colleagues. It is revealed that in the personal system of teachers’ values in the priority of the activities that are most expected within the declared profession are research, getting into various ratings, professional growth, as well as teaching and working with students. The article also shows the forms of teachers’ activity at the University (teaching, work with students, research, administrative work, and work with electronic documents). The data obtained in the work can be used in the psychology of labor, social psychology, pedagogy, psychology of education, as well as for further theoretical development of this issue.
