摘要
This paper analyzes teleworkers' technostress evolution over time, as well as its effects on these individuals' work-related well-being over time. The proposed research model was tested using a survey-based longitudinal study with individuals that forcibly moved to teleworking in the context of a COVID-19 lockdown at two points in time (T0 and T1). Results indicate that two techno-stressors (work-home conflict and work overload) generated strain in teleworkers, which in turn decreased their satisfaction with telework and perceived job performance. In addition, teleworkers experienced two types of enduring technostress: synchronous effect (i.e., stressors generating strain at T1), and a cumulative reverse causation effect (i.e., strain at T0 has an effect on stressors at T1). These findings contribute to cognition, work, and technology literature by providing a more complete understanding of teleworkers' technostress and its possible cumulative effects over time. Practical insights for managing technostress when moving to and remaining in teleworking are provided.
