Abstract

Digitalization and digital transformation processes have various consequences for employees in modern economies. These consequences can be individual or organizational. Especially developing information and communication technologies have many effects on employees. One of these effects is known as “technostress”. Technostress is an expression of stress, anxiety and fear that arise due to digital technologies. The aim of this study is to reveal the scope of “postgraduate thesis” and “article” studies on technostress carried out in Turkey and to analyse and scientifically map the studies. Systematic review method was utilized as a method in the study. In this context, searches were made in YÖKTEZ and DergiPark databases in the national literature and a total of 32 postgraduate theses and 24 articles were reached and evaluated. As a result, some important results such as the university and journal that conducted the most studies on the subject, the most used scales were reached, and it was concluded that the subject of technostress has been frequently studied since 2017 and that technostress levels increase as the number of employees increases depending on technology. In addition, as a result of this study, it was aimed to guide the studies to be conducted by other researchers on the subject by examining the studies on technostress.

TÜRKİYE’DEKİ “TEKNOSTRES” KONUSUNDA YAPILAN ÇALIŞMALARA YÖNELİK SİSTEMATİK BİR İNCELEME

Abstract

Yaşanan dijitalleşme ve dijital dönüşüm süreçlerinin modern ekonomilerde çalışanlar üzerinde çeşitli sonuçları vardır. Bu sonuçlar bireysel olabileceği gibi örgütsel de olabilmektedir. Özellikle gelişen bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin çalışanlar üzerinde birçok etkisi bulunmaktadır. Bu etkilerden bir de “teknostres” olarak bilinmektedir. Teknostres, dijital teknolojilere bağlı olarak ortaya çıkan stres, endişe ve korkunun bir ifadesidir. Özellikle dijital teknolojilerin iş yerinde bir stres oluşturduğu yapılan çalışmalar sonucunda ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de gerçekleştirilen teknostres konulu “lisansüstü tez” ve “makale” çalışmalarının kapsamının ortaya konularak çalışmaların analizlerinin ve bilimsel olarak haritasının çıkarılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada yöntem olarak sistematik inceleme yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Bu kapsamda ulusal literatürdeki YÖKTEZ ve DergiPark veri tabanlarında taramalar gerçekleştirilmiş ve toplamda 32 lisansüstü tez ve 24 makale çalışmasına ulaşılarak değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Sonuç olarak konuyla ilgili en çok çalışma gerçekleştiren üniversite ve dergi, en çok kullanılan ölçekler gibi bazı önemli sonuçlara ulaşılmış ve teknostres konusunun 2017 yılından itibaren sıklıkla çalışıldığı ve teknolojiye bağlı olarak çalışan sayısı arttıkça teknostres düzeylerinin de arttığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca bu çalışma sonucunda teknostres konulu çalışmalar incelenerek başka araştırmacılar tarafından konuyla alakalı yapılacak çalışmalara yön gösterilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
