Abstract

This study examined the relationship between technostress and employee well-being among remote workers in Oyo State. A survey approach was adopted using the questionnaire instrument to achieve the research objective. Ninety-three (93) participants were selected using the purposive sampling technique. The results were analysed using multiple regression analysis. The study reveals a significant negative effect of techno-overload (α 0.020, β -112), techno- invasion (α 0.001, β -031), techno-complexity (α 0.001, β -109), techno-uncertainty (α 0.003, β -093), and techno-insecurity (α 0.026, β -090) on employee wellbeing. The results show that the technostress variables (techno-overload, techno-invasion, techno-complexity, techno- uncertainty, and techno-insecurity) investigate the negative effects on the well-being of remote workers in Oyo State.
