Abstract


Technostress highlights the challenges individuals face in adapting to new technologies, especially in the absence of effective coping mechanisms and preventive strategies. This phenomenon has far-reaching implications, affecting both organizational and personal environments. This study explores the impact of technostress on the IT workforce in Romania, shedding light on its implications for job stress, organizational stress, and employee morale within the context of the country's evolving IT industry. The investigation, based on 2141 valid responses, utilizes Ordinary Least Squares Regression (OLS) and Pearson Correlation Coefficients to analyse the relationships between stress, morale, and job satisfaction. The inclusion of COVID-19 effects adds a contemporary dimension to the study, recognizing the changing landscape of work and its potential impact on IT workers' well-being. Management in the IT sector in Romania needs to be adaptable and responsive to the needs and challenges posed by technostress. This includes providing support to employees in managing workloads, promoting healthy technology use practices, and creating a balanced work environment.
