Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a tool to assess technostress in Italian workers.

Methods: A questionnaire was developed by back-translating the Technostress Creators Scale, adding sociodemographic questions, investigating work characteristics, frequency of technology use, etc. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) examined the underlying factor structure. Model fit was evaluated through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).

Results: The sample consisted of 90 participants, 53.3% female, mean age 37.4 (SD ± 10.9). EFA revealed a six-factor structure explaining 58% of the variance, with factor loadings >0.40. CFE showed good fit indices (χ2 /df = 4.02, CFI = 0.926, TLI = 0.915, RMSEA = 0.057, SRMR = 0.079).

Conclusions: The Italian version of the Technostress Creators Scale showed good reliability. This validation is a starting point to develop new strategies to assess, evaluate and prevent technostress in the workplace.

意大利技术压力创造者量表：评估工具的验证。

目的：本研究的目的是开发和验证一种评估意大利工人技术压力的工具。方法：通过反译《技术压力创造者量表》，加入社会人口学问题，调查工作特点、技术使用频率等，编制问卷。探索性因素分析（EFA）检验了潜在的因素结构。通过验证性因子分析（CFA）评估模型的拟合性。结果：本组共90例，女性53.3%，平均年龄37.4岁（SD±10.9）。EFA揭示了一个六因素结构，解释了58%的方差，因子负荷为0.40。CFE拟合指标较好（χ2 /df = 4.02, CFI = 0.926, TLI = 0.915, RMSEA = 0.057, SRMR = 0.079）。结论：意大利版技术压力创造者量表具有良好的信度。这一验证是开发新策略的起点，以评估、评估和预防工作场所的技术压力。
