Technostress and its management in the 21st century workplace: Implications for consulting workforce
Original language description
Main goal of this paper is to draw more attention to the pervasiveness of technostress (TS) in the consulting domain. As TS tends to be perceived differently in terms of what it entails, this work has focused on researching, instead, the breadth of its relationship with the salient demographical variables: gender, age, organizational rank and family status in an under researched organizational setting. This makes for the first novel contribution of the paper. The interplay in question has been investigated from the quantitative point of view. Knowledge space has been built on the data obtained via a quantitative questionnaire. The research sample consisted of 702 consulting employees (417 men and 275 women), aged 18-65. Data analysis draw on the explanatory potential of ANOVA and stepwise regression models. Results reveal that female participants and employees older than 35, experience significantly more Techno-Complexity compared to other groups. No significant effect of family status on Techno-Complexity was found. Senior-rank employees experience more Techno-Overload and Techno-Invasion, compared to their co-workers in more junior positions. Our findings point out to the necessity of workplace-stress prevention solutions focusing specifically on gender, age and the seniority level of an employee. In addition, they provide important signposts for how such fast-paced organizations as consulting companies can revitalize their human resource management (HRM) practices to foster a healthy workplace environment conducive of workplace productivity and innovation.
