Research on the Application of Cloud Computing in Employment Stress Management of Higher Vocational Students Based on the Perspective of Psychological Well-being

Abstract

In an era characterized by the pervasiveness of technology in the workplace, cloud computing has revolutionized the way we work and collaborate. While this transformation offers numerous advantages, it also introduces new challenges, particularly in terms of workplace tension and Student well-being. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between cloud computing and student job search stress, with a focus on the mediating role of psychological well-being and the moderating role of technological proficiency. To achieve these goals, an online questionnaire was distributed to 460 individuals from third year students of higher vocational institutes and detailed demographic data, such as age, gender, field of study, and prior experience with cloud computing, were collected to provide a comprehensive understanding of the sample. Smart PLS 4, a structural equation modeling tool, was used to analyze the data. The research strategy included a thorough evaluation of cloud computing in student stress management, which served as the study's theoretical underpinning. The study found that cloud computing affects student job search and mental health. It also found that psychological well-being mediates the relationship between cloud computing use and student job search stress. Additionally, technological proficiency was identified as a moderator between cloud computing and student stress management, underscoring the importance of individual differences in technological aptitude. This study advances academic understanding by addressing the complexities introduced by cloud computing, thus enriching the existing literature. Moreover, it offers practical guidance to firms and students navigating cloud computing's influence on job search stress. Specific recommendations for enhancing student welfare and reducing stress in the context of cloud computing adoption are provided. The cloud collaboration tools and remote work practices of today's workplace make this research relevant. Overall, it contributes to both academia and practice by providing actionable insights for improving employee well-being and success in the era of cloud computing.
