Abstract

While previous research has provided critical insights into the different perspectives, methods, and theories on technostress, there is currently no bibliometric review available that clarifies the evolution and structure of the field. We use three bibliometric methods to assess the body of 252 technostress publications until 2019: reference publication year spectroscopy, co-word analysis, and co-citation analysis. In doing so, we analyze how the technostress field has evolved over time, clarify the interconnected concepts forming the discourse and identify the most influential works.

  • Five technostressors (techno-invasion, techno-overload, techno-insecurity, techno-uncertainty, techno-complexity) are well established in technostress research and provide the conceptual basis for many articles.

    “five typical stressors established by Ragu-Nathan et al. (2008), often referred to as technostressors, are well established in technostress research and provide the conceptual basis for many articles (Grummeck-Braamt et al. 2021)”

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.
