摘要

The purpose of this paper is to conduct an analysis of how evolving technology impacts employee well-being in work environments and proposes a management framework to facilitate digital transformation while managing technostress effectively. The study explores theoretical frameworks such as the transaction-based approach and the person-fit environment paradigm. Employing a quantitative approach, survey questionnaires assess technostress among working professionals, revealing its detrimental effects on job satisfaction and overall life satisfaction. Technostress varies across gender, age, and education levels, with men generally reporting higher technological proficiency and job satisfaction. Older individuals exhibit greater technological proficiency but struggle to keep pace with rapid advancements, while highly educated individuals, especially at the doctorate level, feel pressure to continually update their skills. The findings underscore the need for tailored interventions and support mechanisms to address technostress effectively in diverse workplace settings. The paper proposes strategies for organisations to manage technostress during digital transformations, emphasizing a holistic approach that prioritises employee well-being alongside technological advancements. By acknowledging and tackling these challenges, organisations can ensure sustainable digital transformation and cultivate a work environment that promotes employee well-being and satisfaction.
