Solutions for Coping with Technological Advancement: A Case Study. ST-AIMS 13 : Pratiques d'anticipation et environnements extrêmes

Résumé En

Given the information overload and technostress that affects team managers within the information and communication technology management framework, this study examines coping strategies and behaviors adopted by team managers to address technostress. Moreover, it evaluates the choice of coping strategies to improve performance. Using the concepts of interdependence and leader member exchange (which refers to the identification of coping strategies), a study involving three companies was conducted to identify coping strategies. Overall, four interactional coping strategies were identified: non-procedural strategy, professional support strategy, achievement mechanism strategy, and mutual trust strategy. Four new coping theories were created based on these strategies to address technostress from an international perspective, thus enriching the literature on coping strategies and technostress. Empirically, the results explain a wide range of team managers' behaviors. These theories and strategies can be adapted as a solution for coping with technostress.
