Abstract

The use of new information and communication technologies (NICT) as a working tool has a particular impact on modern organizations. Although technology itself is "neutral", it can also generate negative consequences for NICT users who may suffer the so-called "techno-stress." The concept and hence the extent of this phenomenon have varied over time. In this sense, the objective of this study is twofold. First of all, we propose to analyze the phenomenon of "techno-stress" (or the psychosocial stress associated with the use of new technologies), which are the main changes in the workforce associated with the use of new technologies that affect the psychosocial health of employees which organizational and individual factors modulate these relationships. Secondly, we intend to explore the main strategies for preventing and minimizing techno-stress in order to ensure professional performance.
