Technostress Creators and Burnout

Impact of technostress on academic productivity of university students

“…Clark and Kalin (1996) described that "technostress is not a disease, and is a negative psychological, behavioral and physiological impact caused, either directly or indirectly, by technology". Technostress creators are conceptualized as "job demands which require high physical, social, and cognitive skills, with an associated psychological cost" (Mahapatra & Pati, 2018).…”

“…Few studies also manifested the impact of technostress on psychological behavioral outcomes of an employee such as strain (Raghu-Nathan et al, 2008) or the extent to which the individual feels tired (Ayyagari et al, 2011). Researchers have reported several other behavioral outcomes of technostress such as burnout (Mahapatra & Pati, 2018) and also physical health implications such as repetitive eyestrain, headaches, blood pressure, backaches, stomach problems, irritability and heart attacks (Tams et al, 2013). In an academic context, Samaha and Hawi (2016) found that there is a significant impact of mobile technology addiction on students' academic performance and satisfaction with life.…”

“…Employees are forced to utilised technology and work at more speed, thus expected to finish more tasks. With the availability of multiple data channels such as the internet, smartphones, gadget, and internal company sources, employees are exposed to unlimited information at a faster pace than they can handle and use effectively (Mahapatra & Pati, 2018). This leads to information overload among employees where it becomes difficult for them to identify priorities and relevant information (Tarafdar et al, 2010).…”

“…Techno-invasion is the stressor related to pervasive ICTs invading personal life (Tarafdar et al, 2019). The usage of boundless technology and information essentially blurred the line between work-home balances (Mahapatra & Pati, 2018) where an employee feels non-work time to be invaded by work demands (Tarafdar et al, 2007). Employees are facing higher expectations of constant availability; they are expected to immediately respond to workload, thus increasing work effort during off-hours.…”
