The webinar introduces the concept of technostress and highlights some of its positive and negative outcomes on individual and organizational outcomes. It offer a summary on the current state of information systems research on this emerging topic that can inspire and guide both practioners and researchers.

A presentation hosted by Dr. Anuragini SHIRISH

This presentation will allow participants to:

• Appreciate the importance of understanding technostress creators (TSC) and technology spatial intrusions (TSI) in the current work-life scenario
• Understand how and why TSC and TSI may have negative and positive influence on performance outcomes.
• Unpack the different types of TSCs
• Delineate actionable strategies for leveraging and coping with TSCs based on the findings from recent research

Summary :

• Context and Relevance
• Technostress creators and outcomes
• Technology spatial invasion and outcomes
• Technostress and personality traits
• Cognitive and affective coping mechanisms
• Future perspectives
