MANAGING TECHNOSTRESS WITH LEADERSHIP
This study explores the relationship between technostress and leadership style. Technostress is the mental strain caused by excessive use of digital tools, which negatively affects employee well-being and performance. The research shows that supportive, transformational, and change-oriented leadership styles help reduce stress, while authoritarian, destructive or passive (laissez-faire) leadership increases it. Leaders can mitigate stress through role modeling, technical support, gradual technology implementation, and open communication. A supportive organizational culture acts as a protective factor, while technostress – especially techno-invasion, overload, and complexity – intensifies work–family conflicts. The thesis also offers practical recommendations for leaders to support successful adaptation to digital environments.
