To investigate the phenomenon of technostress among university teachers in higher education, a multidimensional person-environment misfit framework of technostress was proposed and validated by 343 teachers from universities in China. The findings indicate that person-organization (P-O) misfit, person-technology (P-T) misfit, and person-people (P-P) misfit largely captured how university teachers interact with multiple dimensions of the higher education environment in an imbalanced way that causes technostress. P-O misfit predicted P-T misfit and P-P misfit. Relationships between multidimensional technostress and job performance were investigated. It was found that university requirements related to the use of ICT and the suitability of ICT for university teachers' work were critical factors affecting their job performance. In addition, a comparison was made among university teachers from different grade levels, revealing that university management related to ICT use tended to affect university teachers of higher-grade levels more than those of lower-grade levels in generating technostress.
为了调查高等教育领域大学教师的技术压力现象,中国高校的343名教师提出并验证了一个技术压力的多维度人-环境不匹配框架。研究结果表明,个人-组织(P-O)不匹配、个人-技术(P-T)不匹配和个人-人际(P-P)不匹配在很大程度上体现了大学教师如何以一种失衡的方式与高等教育环境的多个维度进行互动,进而导致技术压力。P-O不匹配预测了P-T不匹配和P-P不匹配。研究了多维度技术压力与工作绩效之间的关系。研究发现,与信息通信技术(ICT)使用相关的大学要求以及ICT对大学教师工作的适用性是影响其工作绩效的关键因素。此外,对不同职级的大学教师进行了比较,结果显示,与ICT使用相关的大学管理在产生技术压力方面对高职级教师的影响往往大于低职级教师。
