Yaşadığımız çağda meydana gelen teknolojik gelişmeler avantajlarının yanısıra bazı dezavantajları da beraberinde getirmiştir. Otomasyon sistemlerinin yaygınlaşması bu sistemleri kullanan tüm kesimleri etkilemiştir. Bu etkilerden birisi de stresin alt boyutu olarak tanımlanan ve son yıllarda iş yaşamında ciddi problemlere yol açan ‘teknostres’tir. Teknostres, çok sayıda bilgisayar sistemiyle çalışmanın ve bu sistemler ile kişisel yaşamın, kuruluşun ve kullanıcıların taleplerini gerçekleştirirken oluşan kaygı veya zihinsel baskı hissi olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Teknostresin olumsuz etkileri; hem kütüphane personeli hem de kullanıcılar için teknoloji tabanlı eğitim ve öğretim, teknolojiye karşı olumlu bir tutum geliştirmek, yeterli ekipman ve teknik destek sağlamak, daha ergonomik çalışma ortamı sağlamak, teknolojiyi kullanırken düzenli molalar vermek, çoklu görevden kaçınmak, stres yönetimi eğitimi, etkili zaman yönetimi ve düzenli fiziksel egzersiz ve meditasyon yapmak vb. çözüm yolları ile azaltılabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı teknostres ile verimlilik arasındaki ilişkiyi ele almak, teknostresin nedenlerini ve kütüphaneciler üzerindeki etkilerini örgütsel verimlilik açısından incelemek ve teknostres yönetimine ilişkin önerilerde bulunarak alan yazına kavramsal açıdan katkı sağlamaya çalışmaktır. Betimleme yöntemi kullanılan çalışma kuramsal niteliktedir.

Technological developments in the age we live in have brought some disadvantages as well as advantages. The widespread use of automation systems has affected all segments using these systems. One of these effects is 'technostress', which is defined as the sub-dimension of stress and has led to serious problems in business life in recent years. Technostress is defined as the feeling of anxiety or mental pressure that occurs when working with a large number of changing computer systems and fulfilling the demands of the organization and users with these systems. The negative effects of technostress are technology-based education and training for both library staff and users, developing a positive attitude towards technology, providing adequate equipment and technical support, providing a more ergonomic working environment, taking regular breaks while using technology, avoiding multitasking, stress management training, effective time management and doing regular physical exercise and meditation etc. can be reduced with solutions. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between technostress and productivity, to examine the causes of technostress and its effects on librarians in terms of organizational efficiency, and to contribute conceptually to the literature by making suggestions on technostress management. The study which the descriptive method is used, is a theoretical attribution.
