Abstract

Recent studies have focused on examining the impact of technostress (TS) on academics and students. However, there remains a paucity of studies examining the influence of TS on burnout among academics. This study aims to explore the influence of TS on academics' feelings of burnout and to examine the mitigating role of TS inhibitors on burnout among academics when using online learning technology. A web-based survey was designed and used to collect data from 115 academics in Malaysian universities. The data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. The research findings reveal that academic burnout is significantly influenced by technology insecurity, technology invasion, and technology uncertainty. However, the impact of technology overload is only partially significant, while technology complexity does not exert a significant influence on academic burnout. Moderation tests reveal that literacy and involvement facilitation significantly moderate the relationship between technology uncertainty and insecurity, reducing burnout feelings. This study extends existing literature by providing empirical evidence to explain the relationship between TS and the academic burnout construct. Furthermore, it demonstrates the mitigating role of TS inhibitors on the burnout construct. Additionally, it offers potential strategies for alleviating burnout among academics, particularly in Malaysian university contexts. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2024-SIED1-012 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The objective of this research is to examine an open government data (OGD) intention-adoption behavioural model for the public sector organisations (PSOs), since examining the model is expected to lead to a better understanding of how to realise this technological innovation among PSOs on a large scale to excavate its innovative value. In this respect, we proposed a theoretical model to explore the factors that affect OGD adoption behaviour based on three dimensions of the TOE (technology, organisation, and environment) framework. The model was then analysed after collecting the survey data from 249 PSOs in Pakistan using a purposive sampling technique. The findings unfolded that the factors, except centralisation and civil society participation, framed in technology dimension (data resource, dataset quality, perceived benefits), organisation dimension (data-driven culture, digitisation capacity, need for transparency), and environment dimension (compliance pressure, political leadership commitment) affect the PSOs’ OGD adoption intention. Cumulatively, the intention to adopt OGD was found to have a significant positive impact on OGD adoption behaviour. Based on the TOE framework, the model, with the addition of adoption intention as a significant positive factor in adoption behaviour, bears a crucial theoretical and practical contribution in the context of OGD. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2024-08-05-04 Full Text: PDF
