Abstract

Individuals' confidence in their ability to effectively use digital technologies, termed Digital Self-Efficacy (DSE), has become essential in today's workplace, especially with the rise of remote work and increasing reliance on technology. However, the relationships among DSE, job stressors, and Psychological Detachment (PD) are still not fully understood. This study examines the moderating role of DSE in the relationship between Work Intensification (WI), Role Ambiguity (RA), Organizational Support (OS), and PD. Using PLS-SEM, we analyzed data from 653 workers in Ecuador. The findings confirmed the expected negative impact of WI and the positive influence of OS on PD. Interestingly, a positive relationship between RA and PD was observed, contrary to initial expectations. The study also revealed differences between workers who underwent Self-directed versus Directed digital competence training. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of the role digital skills play in managing job stress and fostering recovery in modern work environments.

数字自我效能的减压力量：培训形式对员工重要吗？

个人对自己有效使用数字技术的能力的信心，被称为数字自我效能（DSE），在当今的工作场所已经变得至关重要，特别是随着远程工作的兴起和对技术的日益依赖。然而，DSE、工作压力源和心理超脱（PD）之间的关系尚不完全清楚。本研究探讨了工作强化（WI）、角色模糊（RA）、组织支持（OS）和工作表现之间的关系中，工作表现的调节作用。使用PLS-SEM，我们分析了厄瓜多尔653名工人的数据。研究结果证实了WI对PD的负面影响和OS对PD的积极影响。有趣的是，与最初的预期相反，观察到RA和PD之间的正相关。该研究还揭示了接受自我指导型和有指导型数字能力培训的员工之间的差异。这些结果有助于更深入地理解数字技能在现代工作环境中管理工作压力和促进恢复方面所起的作用。
