Abstract

RESUMEN

A pesar de los hallazgos sobre el estrés relacionado con la tecnología, la relación entre la edad y el tecnoestrés en trabajadores públicos es todavía limitada. El objetivo principal del presente estudio fue observar la relación entre la edad y el nivel de tecnoestrés en funcionarios de distintos ayuntamientos españoles. El estudio, de tipo transversal, se realizó en por 132 trabajadores (60 hombres y 72 mujeres) con una media de edad de 42,9 años (DT: 9,49). Para conocer el nivel de Tecnoestrés se administró el Cuestionario RED. Los análisis de correlación revelan que la edad se relaciona positivamente con la tecnofatiga y negativamente con la tecnoadicción. Además, la prueba MANOVA indica diferencias significativas entre los baby boomers y la generación Y. En resumen, estos resultados defienden la idea de que los trabajadores públicos de mayor edad son más propensos al estrés relacionado con la tecnología en el trabajo, pese a ello, deben realizarse más investigaciones que respalden estos hallazgos.

Palabras Clave: Tecnoestrés; tecnofatiga; tecnoadicción; estrés; edad; funcionarios; estudio transversal.

 

ABSTRACT

Despite the findings on stress and technology, the relationship between age and techno-stress in public workers is still limited. The main aim of this study was to observe the relationship between age and techno-stress in officials of different Spanish municipalities. The cross-sectional study was carried out in 132 workers (60 men and 72 women) with a mean age of 42.9 years (SD: 9.49). To assess techno-stress, the RED Questionnaire was administered. Correlation analyzes reveal that age is positively related to techno-fatigue and negatively to techno-addiction. Furthermore, the MANOVA test indicates significant differences between baby boomers and generation Y. In summary, these results support the idea that older public workers are more prone to technology-related stress at work. Despite this, more research should be done to support these findings.

Key words: Techno-stress; techno-fatigue; techno-addiction; stress; age; public servants; cross-sectional study.

 

RESUMO

Apesar dos achados sobre o estresse relacionado com a tecnologia, a relação entre a idade e o tecnoestresse em servidores públicos ainda é limitada. O objetivo principal do presente estudo foi observar a relação entre a idade e o nível de tecnoestresse em funcionários de diferentes prefeituras espanholas. O estudo, de tipo transversal, foi realizado com 132 trabalhadores (60 homens e 72 mulheres) com uma média de idade de 42,9 anos (DT:9, 49). Para conhecer o nível de Tecnoestresse foi aplicado o Questionário RED. As análises de correlação revelam que a idade se relaciona positivamente com a tecnofadiga e negativamente com o vício tecnológico. Além disso, a prova MANOVA indica diferenças significativas entre os baby boomers e a geração Y. Em resumo, tais resultados defendem a ideia de que os servidores públicos com idade mais avançada têm maior propensão ao estresse relacionado à tecnologia no trabalho e, ainda assim, devem ser realizados mais estudos para respaldar tais achados.

Palavras-chave: Tecnoestresse; tecnofadiga; vício tecnológico; estresse; idade; funcionários; estudo transversal.
