Perceived information and communication technology (ICT) demands on employee outcomes: The moderating effect of organizational ICT support

Day, Arla, Paquet, Stephanie, Scott, Natasha, Hambley, Laura·2012·Journal of Occupational Health Psychology

Abstract

Although many employees are using more information communication technology (ICT) as part of their jobs, few studies have examined the impact of ICT on their well-being, and there is a lack of validated measures designed to assess the ICT factors that may impact employee well-being. Therefore, we developed and validated a measure of ICT demands and supports. Using Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling, we found support for 8 ICT demands (i.e., availability, communication, ICT control, ICT hassles, employee monitoring, learning, response expectations, and workload) and two facets of ICT support (personal assistance and resources/upgrades support). Jointly, the ICT demands were associated with increased strain, stress, and burnout and were still associated with stress and strain after controlling for demographics, job variables, and job demands. The two types of ICT support were associated with lower stress, strain, and burnout. Resources/upgrades support moderated the relationship between learning expectations and most strain outcomes and between ICT hassles and strain. Personal assistance support moderated the relationship between ICT hassles and strain.

  • Narrow algorithmic monitoring systems lead to a greater emphasis on quantified work objectives at the expense of other and potentially meaningful aspects of one's job, reducing autonomy in the choice of work methods.

    “A similar consequence of narrow algorithmic monitoring systems is a greater emphasis on quantified work objectives at the expense of other and potentially meaningful aspects of one's job (Schafheitle et al., 2020), reducing the autonomy of workers in the choice of their work methods (Day, Paquet, Scott, & Hambley, 2012;Wang, Liu, & Parker, 2020)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
