Abstract
Dit onderzoek bestudeerde de relatie tussen technostress en verloopintentie. Gebaseerd op het Job Demands-Resources model en eerder empirisch onderzoek werd er een rechtstreekse positieve samenhang verwacht tussen vijf technostressoren (techno-overlading, techno-invasie, techno-complexiteit, techno-onveiligheid en technoonzekerheid) en verloopintentie. Tevens werd een mediërende rol van burn-out verwacht. Resultaten, bekomen via een cross-sectioneel vragenlijstonderzoek bij 1691 werknemers in België, bieden evidentie voor een positieve samenhang tussen drie technostressoren (technooverlading, techno-invasie en techno-onveiligheid) en verloopintentie. Verder bleek burn-out deze relaties volledig of gedeeltelijk te mediëren. Techno-onzekerheid bleek onverwacht negatief samen te gaan met burn-out en verloopintentie, nadat er gecontroleerd werd voor de andere technostressoren. De theoretische en praktische implicaties van dit onderzoek worden aangegeven.
This study investigated the relationship between technostress and
turnover intention. Based on the Job Demands-Resources model and
previous empirical research, a direct positive association was hypothesized
between five technostressors (techno-overload, techno-invasion, technocomplexity, techno-insecurity and techno-uncertainty) and turnover
intention. A mediating role of burn-out was also hypothesized. Results
obtained through a cross-sectional survey of 1691 employees in Belgium,
provide evidence for a positive association between three technostressors
(techno-overload, techno-invasion and techno-insecurity) and turnover
intention. Furthermore, burnout was found to fully or partially mediate
these relationships. Unexpectedly, techno-uncertainty was negatively
related to burnout and turnover intention, after controlling for the other
technostressors. The theoretical and practical implications of this study
are discussed.
