Technostress, Psychological Capital, and Burnout Among IT Professionals: A Moderated-Mediation Model

Abstract The rapid assimilation of digital infrastructure within corporate ecosystems has markedly escalated occupational strain among Information Technology (IT) practitioners, a condition academically conceptualised as technostress (Tarafdar et al., 2007). Although existing scholarship robustly links technostress to occupational burnout, there remains a paucity of empir- ical inquiry into the psychological reservoirs that may attenuate these deleterious impacts in high-velocity work environments (Ayyagari et al., 2011). Addressing this lacuna, the current investigation scrutinizes the buffering mechanisms by exploring the mediating function of Psychological Capital (PsyCap) within the technostress-burnout nexus (Luthans et al., 2007). Furthermore, anchored in the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) paradigm, this study interro- gates whether perceived job demands serve as a moderator in this trajectory (Demerouti et al., 2001). The empirical data were derived from a cohort of IT professionals (N = 150) employing validated psychometric instruments, specifically the Technostress Creators Scale, the PCQ-12, the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, and the Job Demands Scale (Author, 2024). The findings offer a refined analytical framework to aid organisational entities in architecting resilience-centric interventions (Bakker & Demerouti, 2007).
