The article proposes the concept of technostress and makes a strong recommendation for conducting research based on key researchable hypotheses. A conceptual framework of technostress is suggested to provide some focus to future research. A number of technostress management strategies are put forward, including strategic technological planning, organization culture development, technostress monitoring systems, and technouser self-development programs. The management of technostress is compared to the chaining of Prometheus, which, left uncontrolled, can create havoc in an organization. The authors believe that organizations have a responsibility to introduce, diffuse, and manage computer technology in such a way that it is congruent with the principles of sound, supportive, and humanistic management.
本文提出了技术压力的概念，并基于关键的可研究假设对开展研究提出了有力建议。文中还建议了一个技术压力的概念框架，为未来的研究提供一些重点方向。同时提出了一些技术压力管理策略，包括战略技术规划、组织文化发展、技术压力监测系统和技术用户自我发展计划。技术压力的管理被比作普罗米修斯的锁链，如果不加控制，它会在组织中造成严重破坏。作者认为，组织有责任以一种与健全、支持性和人文主义管理原则相一致的方式引入、推广和管理计算机技术。
