This in-depth book explores the growing challenge of technostress, a unique form of work-related stress caused by increasing dependence on technology and its impact on individuals, organizations, and society. By examining the sources, consequences, and management of technostress, the book bridges the gap between technology and organizational sustainability. It offers practical strategies for addressing discomfort, promoting well-being, and building healthier, more productive work environments in the digital age. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of the negative effects of technostress on health, emotions, and organizational performance. The book provides actionable strategies for managing stress at both the individual and organizational levels, promoting productivity and resilience. By focusing on the intersection of technology, emotions, and work, it contributes to the growing body of knowledge on well-being and sustainability in the workplace. In digital transformation processes, which generate organizational change, gamification represents a new challenge for managing technostress. This research volume is essential reading for researchers and advanced students in the field of workplace well-being and sustainability, business leaders, human resources professionals, and organizational psychologists. It is also very useful for academics and students of economics, management, and organizational studies, as well as for those who wish to better understand and manage the impact of technology on modern work.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

This book offers a multidisciplinary strategy for finding new and more effective human-computer interaction approaches, in particular from a socio-technical perspective, that facilitate the exploration and exploitation of benefits that information technologies (IT) offer organizations. Though the relationship between IT and organizations is certainly very strong, it is also one of the greatest obstacles to securing benefits from their interaction. The participation of organizational users in the planning and design stages of IT interfaces is the main area of human-computer interaction, where a wealth of contributions are positively enriching both the academic and management discussions. Thus, a new approach for managing this relationship is needed, one in which the different stakeholders are suitably taken into account. Moreover, the outstanding success of the 2.0 phenomenon offers an example of a relevant platform where human-computer interaction has been widely developed and exploited. Consequently, this will influence and already is influencing – the way IT and users interact with each other. The book is based on a selection of the best papers – original, double blind peer-reviewed contributions – from the annual conference of the Italian chapter of the AIS, held in Milan, Italy in December 2013.
