The increasing reliance on digital technologies has transformed contemporary workplaces, enhancing efficiency while also generating new sources of employee stress. This conceptual review examines how technology contributes to workplace stress and affects employees' well-being across organisational contexts. Drawing on peer-reviewed, open-access literature published between 2019 and 2025, the paper synthesises existing research to explain the mechanisms linking technology-related demands to employee well-being outcomes. The review identifies continuous connectivity, information overload, rapid technological change, and system complexity as key contributors to technostress. Technostress is conceptualised as a mediating process through which these demands influence psychological, emotional, social, and occupational well-being, often resulting in emotional exhaustion, reduced job satisfaction, and weakened work-life boundaries. The review also highlights the role of organisational resources, including supportive leadership, digital skills development, and clear technology-use norms, in buffering the negative effects of technostress. The paper contributes a consolidated conceptual framework and outlines directions for future research on sustainable digital work practices.
