Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way organizations operate, forcing many of them to opt for remote-working as an alternative to the face-to-face mode. This global phenomenon has increased the importance of studying the psychosocial risks linked to the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), such as technostress. This study aims to provide validity evidence for the Technostress Creators Scale in Spain and to test its measurement invariance in terms of gender.

Method: We analyzed the psychometric properties of the scale, its factor solution, and gender invariance in a sample of 931 employees from Spain.

Results: The Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) showed that the Spanish version maintained the five factors from the original version: techno-overload, techno-invasion, techno-complexity, techno-insecurity, and techno-uncertainty. The instrument demonstrated adequate reliability. The results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) also replicated the five-factor structure of the English version. Additionally, measurement invariance tests indicated differences between genders.

Conclusions: The resulting Spanish scale has 18 items, which is shorter than the original version. The implications and limitations of the Spanish version of the instrument are detailed in the discussion.

技术压力创造者量表的西班牙验证。

背景:2019冠状病毒病大流行改变了组织的运作方式，迫使许多组织选择远程工作作为面对面工作模式的替代方案。这一全球现象增加了研究与信息通信技术(ict)使用相关的社会心理风险(如技术压力)的重要性。本研究旨在为西班牙技术压力创造者量表提供效度证据，并检验其在性别方面的测量不变性。方法:以西班牙931名员工为样本，分析量表的心理测量特征、因子解和性别不变性。结果:探索性因素分析(EFA)结果显示，西班牙语版本保持了原版本的5个因素:技术超载、技术入侵、技术复杂性、技术不安全性和技术不确定性。这仪器显示出足够的可靠性。验证性因子分析(CFA)的结果也复制了英文版本的五因素结构。此外，测量不变性检验表明性别之间存在差异。结论:编制的西班牙语量表共有18个项目，较原版本短。讨论中详细讨论了文书的西班牙文版本的影响和局限性。
