Impact of Technostress on Continuance Intentions to Use Mobile Technology

With rapid development of emerging technologies, teachers have been required to integrate mobile technology into their practices to improve learning outcomes. However, teachers have been reluctant to integrate technology into teaching because of technostress. Many studies have investigated the reasons and consequences of technostress in different contexts more than education, specifically teachers in K-12. To shed light on the boundary condition of using new technology, this study investigated technostress as a boundary condition that influences perceived usefulness for continuance intentions of using portable technology. Therefore, the authors introduced a model to describe the relationship among technostress, perceived usefulness, and K-12 teacher attitudes toward and continuance intentions to using mobile technology in the Palestinian context. 367 teachers from different backgrounds participated in the quantitative study. SPSS and AMOS were used to find the path coefficients of the model. The findings revealed that technostress has non-significant direct effects on continuance intentions of using portable technology, where perceived usefulness plays a crucial role in continuance intentions. Technostress has negative effects on both perceived usefulness and teachers’ attitudes toward mobile technology. Participants in the study were from northern Palestine, which limited generalizing the findings on other technological tools. Longitudinal future studies are recommended to understand the impact of perceived usefulness and its relationship with technostress, which is important to deepening our understanding of continuance intentions in using mobile technology.

The Impact of Technostress on Student Satisfaction and Performance Expectancy

Abstract: Technostress can be seen as a relevant factor that may affect student satisfaction and student performance. However, a lack of research has been carried out to analyse the simultaneous effect of the four technostress dimensions, namely techno-overload, techno-complexity, techno-insecurity, and techno-uncertainty on student satisfaction and performance expectancy. Performance expectancy is appropriate to use as an endogenous construct since this research was carried out during open and distance learning (ODL) implementation and before the final examination. Hence, this study aims to investigate the association between the four technostress dimensions towards student satisfaction. This research also seeks to examine the relationship between student satisfaction and performance expectancy among undergraduates. A total of 500 self-administered questionnaires were distributed but 458 valid questionnaires were found. All of the respondents were at the diploma level from UiTM Pahang Branch Campus. An online survey questionnaire was used since all respondents were in their hometowns due to the Malaysian government's Movement Control Order (MCO). In this study, SEM-AMOS was conducted to evaluate the measurement model and to test the hypotheses. This study found that techno-complexity displays a more significant contribution to student satisfaction and performance expectancy than techno-uncertainty. However, the results explicitly imply that the influence of techno-overload and techno-insecurity on students' satisfaction and performance expectancy is not significant.

Impact of technostress on productivity from the theoretical perspective of appraisal and coping processes

Transactional Theory of Stress (TTS) suggests that appraisal and coping processes determine the impacts of stressors. Prior research applies TTS at the technology level, where the presence of information and communication technologies (ICTs) triggers the above-mentioned two processes and technostress creators are appraisals of ICTs. We apply TTS at the application level, where the demand of using ICTs to accomplish work triggers the two processes and technostress creators are characteristics of the demand. Results suggest that technostress creators influence appraisal outcomes inconsistently. Problem- and emotion-focused coping strategies, respectively, mediate the influence of challenge and hindrance appraisal outcomes on ICT-enabled productivity.

Industrial Productivity Enhancement by Eliminating Techno Stress in the Magnesite Industry, South India

The study aims at industrial productivity enhancement by eliminating techno stress of workers in magnesite industry, South India. Productivity trends of magnesite industry were analyzed with the tool of trend analysis and various techno coping parameters such as techno stressors, techno strain are chosen for conceptualization and analysis. The objective of the study lies on to identify factors which makes the industrial productivity in down trend and the impact of techno stress of workers towards industrial growth. This article has applied techno stress eliminating mechanism by analyzing the previous researches and its gap. Primary and secondary data were collected to apply S-O-R model which given techno strategy to eliminate the techno stress and to enhance the industrial productivity in the magnesite industry, South India.

ASSESSMENT OF ERGONOMIC HAZARDS AND TECHNO-STRESS AMONG THE WORKERS OF OBAFEMI AWOLOWO UNIVERSITY, ILE-IFE, OSUN STATE, NIGERIA

Advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) provide organization opportunities for access to information and enable new work arrangements that were previously not possible. However, ICT have also brought about increasingly complicated ways of doing business in the workplace with its attendant physical and emotional stress on workers which resulted in higher levels of turnover and absenteeism, higher cost of retraining staff and negative effect on productivity. The main focus of this paper therefore, is to examine the prevalence of ergonomic hazards and associated techno-stress among the academic and non-academic staff and also to ascertain the effect of techno-stress on the performance of individual university employee. Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria was used as a case study. Cross sectional survey design using questionnaire to collect primary data to assess the degree of ergonomic hazards experienced by the staff, the relationship between ergonomic hazard and techo-stress as well as the impact of techno-stress on their productivity was adopted as the methodology for this study. Descriptive and inferential statistics were then used to analyse data. Findings revealed that university staff are suffering from ergonomic hazards; quite a number of them lack knowledge of health problem and stress associated with ICT usage; and that there is positive relationship between ergonomic hazards and techno-stress; and finally techno-stress have negative consequences on individual worker’s performance.

Symptoms and Strategies of Technostress among the Students of Sncet College Library: A Study

Studying the impact of technostress among the students is an interesting exercise. The students agreed that computers were an important part of daily life and they agreed to learn about them to feel competent to use them. This research particularly highlights the symptoms of technostress faced by them. The students viewed their suggestions and measures and indicated that they would adopt in daily routine to overcome technostress. Thus this research is undertaken in view to eradicate technostress among the students who uses the library.
