Despite the growing trend of Information and communication technology (ICT), little is known about its impact on job satisfaction and the mechanisms through which ICT operates. This study aimed to investigate new generation teachers’ ICT use on efficacy and job satisfaction. We conducted a cross-sectional survey on 234 new generation teachers in China. The Results revealed that ICT use had a positive direct impact on job satisfaction of new generation teachers. Teachers’ efficacy plays a partial mediating role and error aversion culture moderates the relationship between ICT use and teachers’ efficacy. This study complements our attempt to understanding the effect, mechanism and boundary condition of ICT use on new generation teachers’ work outcomes. It also provides a new direction for studying ICT use on employees belonging to other generations.
