A Study on the Relationship between Technostress and Employee Creativity with Perceived Organizational Support
Abstract
Employee creativity is important to all kinds of organizations whether they're small or large whether they're for-profit or not-for-profit it doesn't matter. There has been a lot of research done in the past on employee creativity to assess how significant it is. This research has been done not just from the perspective of the organization, but also from the perspective of the employee's work happiness and job performance. In this essay, we made an effort to investigate the influence that technostress now exists in the organization has on employee creativity and how it will continue to do so in the future. We tried to foresee the result by focusing on the link between the two to indicate its future consequences and explain how it would be beneficial to both the organization and the individual. This was accomplished by highlighting the connection between the two.
