Technostress, Obligation, and Leadership researcher
Welcome to my website!
Why this website? The purpose is two-folded:
- Academic Portfolio. This is an academic portfolio website, where I present my academic work so far. You can visit my academic portfolio here.
- Technostress research. I use this website to raise awareness about technostress, and to disseminate research through blog posts. Here you can read more about technostress.
You are welcome to keep an eye on my Twitter and Linkedin, as I will soon launch a technostress awareness campaign, based on our technostress research findings.
Technostress research
Our lives are busier than ever. We can work anywhere, anytime, but what are the consequences?
In Denmark, one in four employees are experiencing high levels of stress. Despite much technostress research, technostress is yet not part of the debate.
In my research, I show how technostress should be a societal responsibility, and how our co-constructed work obligations are contributing to technostress.
Below, I present a brief timeline of technostress research.

How do our work obligations contribute to technostress
My research explores how technostress is co-constructed in the workplace as a result of our spoken and/or hidden expectations
