Exposición a la Tecnología de la Información y la Comunicación y su Relacion con el Engagement

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: This paper tests the hypothesis that the positive appraisal of exposure \nmediates the impact of technology exposure (i. e., frequency of use and \ntechnology training) on work engagement (i. e., vigor, dedication and \nabsorption) in a sample of 645 Spanish workers who work with \nInformation and Communication Technology. The Structural Equation \nModeling results show that the positive appraisal partially mediates the \nimpact of technology exposure on work engagement. The greater the \nexposure, the better the appraisal and the higher work engagement. \nInterestingly, we observed a direct but negative relationship between \nfrequency of use and work engagement. Therefore, the greater the use \nof technology without mediation via appraisal, the lower the levels of \nwork engagement. Study limitations and practical implications are \ndiscussed.
