The Double-Edged Nature of Technostress on Work Performance: A Research Model and Research Agenda
نویسندگان
چکیده
This research agenda is the first step toward the adaptation of transactional theory of stress (TTS) into the technostress context, which aims to fill the research gaps in the technostress literature. A research model is developed based on TTS. In the model, we assume technostress to be neutral, and its effects on a person’s workplace outcomes depend on the appraisal on technostress. The positive appraisal on technostress, that is, technostress challenge appraisal will generally lead to positive outcomes, whereas the negative appraisal on technostress, that is, technostress threat appraisal will generally lead to negative outcomes. Although technostress is neutral in a holistic perspective, different types of technostress would be appraised differently. Therefore, the model also predicts how different types of technostress would be appraised. A three-phase agenda is proposed to validate the model. At the end, we highlight the theoretical and practical implications, as well as opportunities for future studies.

Despite the spurt of active research in the field of technostress, two research gaps are particularly noteworthy. First, though past studies have described ‘technostress creators’ through five dimensions which include techno-overload, techno-invasion, techno-complexity, techno-insecurity and technouncertainty, the individual impact of each dimension of technostress creators on job outcomes has ...

With the proliferation and ubiquity of information and communication technologies (ICTs), it is becoming imperative for individuals to constantly engage with these technologies in order to get work accomplished. Academic literature, popular press, and anecdotal evidence suggest that ICTs are responsible for increased stress levels in individuals (known as technostress). However, despite the inf...

The Status Quo of Neurophysiology in Organizational Technostress Research: A Review of Studies Published from 1978 to 2015
We report on the status quo of neurophysiology in organizational technostress research, showing how neurophysiological tools have been applied in technostress studies with a focus on the organizational level of analysis. Based on a review of research published in peer-reviewed journals, we found that neurophysiological tools have seen relatively frequent application, particularly in early techn...
