Purpose

While the phenomenon of technostress has received significant attention from researchers in recent years, empirical findings concerning the consequences of specific forms of techno-stressors have remained scattered and contradictory. The authors aim to integrate the conclusions of previous studies to understand the effects of specific techno-stressors on strain and job performance.

Design/methodology/approach

This study employs meta-analytic techniques to calibrate the findings of 67 studies investigating more than 63,100 employees.

Findings

In general, not all techno-stressors have adverse effects. In particular, techno-uncertainty does not impact job performance. In addition, relative weight analyses reveal the relative importance of techno-complexity and techno-insecurity as predictors of both strain and job performance. Finally, this study finds that the effects of specific techno-stressors on job performance vary depending on research participants' gender, educational attainment and employment status.

Originality/value

First, this study provides a more nuanced view of the effects of specific techno-stressors. Second, this research clarifies the relative importance of specific techno-stressors as predictors of strain and job performance. Finally, this study reveals the moderating effects of demographic variables on the relationships between specific techno-stressors and job performance.

了解特定技术压力源对压力和工作绩效的影响：经验证据的荟萃分析

目的

尽管近年来技术压力现象受到了研究人员的极大关注，但有关特定形式的技术压力源后果的实证研究结果仍然分散且相互矛盾。作者旨在整合先前研究的结论，以了解特定技术压力源对压力和工作绩效的影响。

设计/方法论/途径

本研究采用荟萃分析技术来校准对 63,100 多名员工进行调查的 67 项研究的结果。

发现

一般来说，并非所有技术压力源都会产生不利影响。特别是，技术不确定性不会影响工作绩效。此外，相对权重分析揭示了技术复杂性和技术不安全性作为压力和工作绩效预测因素的相对重要性。最后，本研究发现，特定技术压力因素对工作绩效的影响因研究参与者的性别、教育程度和就业状况而异。

原创性/价值

首先，这项研究对特定技术压力源的影响提供了更细致的看法。其次，这项研究阐明了特定技术压力源作为压力和工作绩效预测因素的相对重要性。最后，这项研究揭示了人口变量对特定技术压力源与工作绩效之间关系的调节作用。
