​​​A PROPOSED MODEL OF INHIBITORS AND CONSEQUENCES OF TECHNOSTRESS AMONG UNIVERSITY ACADEMICIANS: KNOWLEDGE SHARING AS A MEDIATOR​​

Abstract

Academician academicians nowadays are facing a new scenario, that is, expecting them to acquire and utilise technology intensively in teaching and learning activities. Moreover, they are also required to be innovative at work. The spread of COVID-19 escalated these expectations, where the traditional face-to-face mode of teaching and learning was riskier as compared to using online technology for the above-mentioned activities. As a result, they might experience technostress, especially those who are not ICT savvy. However, to date, there is little study on the inhibitor of technostress and its consequences on academicians’ innovative work behaviour. Thus, this study aims to propose a framework to examine the Inhibitors and consequences of technostress among university academicians. This study will also propose knowledge sharing as the mediator between the relationship of technostress and innovative work behaviour.
