Abstract

This study examines the longitudinal relationship between two affordances of organizational information and communication technologies (ICTs)—that is, visibility and persistence—and individuals’ subjective stress and technology-assisted supplemental work (TASW). We propose that visibility and persistence associated with organizational ICTs are often more aptly construed as probabilities for action, rather than merely possibilities for action. The hypotheses are tested using latent change structural equation modeling drawing on two-wave survey data from 437 employees of a global industrial logistics company headquartered in a Nordic country. The findings highlight that visibility is associated with increases in TASW, but not in subjective stress, while persistence is associated with decreases in TASW and subjective stress. We suggest that visibility may pressure workers into extending their workdays, while persistence may operate as an important resource for employees reducing subjective TASW and stress as well as intra-individual changes in TASW and stress over time.

考察压力和技术辅助补充工作的可视性和持久性之间的纵向关系

本研究考察了组织信息和通信技术（ICT）的两种可供性（即可见性和持久性）与个人主观压力和技术辅助补充工作（TASW）之间的纵向关系。我们建议，与组织信通技术相关的可见性和持久性通常更恰当地解释为行动的可能性，而不仅仅是行动的可能性。根据总部位于北欧国家的一家全球工业物流公司的437名员工的两波调查数据，使用潜在变化结构方程模型对这些假设进行了检验。研究结果强调，可见性与TASW的增加有关，但与主观压力无关，而持久性与TASW和主观压力的减少有关。我们认为，可见性可能会迫使员工延长工作日，而持久性可能是员工减少主观TASW和压力的重要资源，以及随着时间的推移，TASW和紧张的个体内部变化。
