Paper Abstract:
|
Information and communication technologies, such as instant messengers, have become an essential part of every
person's work and private life. Undesirable side effects, such as technostress accompany this trend. The present study
examines the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and the technical affinity to the appearance of
technostress and its effect on the general task fulfillment. The experimental design's central component was an online
memory game, combined with the NEO Five-Factor Inventory and a technical affinity questionnaire. The experiment
with 13 participants was monitored with a gaze tracking device and corresponding software. This study showed that
people with certain personality traits perceive technostress at a higher or lower level. Furthermore, technostress lowers
task performance. However, this effect can be mitigated by a higher level of technical affinity. This paper is ongoing
research. Therefore, future research should consider a higher number of participants and a variation of stressors. |
