Abstract

Technostress and cognitive fatigue are increasingly prevalent issues in modern workplaces where employees depend heavily on digital technologies. Prolonged engagement with these technologies can lead to cognitive strain, emotional exhaustion, and reduced well-being. This paper aims to explore the phenomenon of technostress and cognitive fatigue by identifying contributing factors such as cognitive overload, multitasking, and constant connectivity. The paper presents strategies to mitigate these issues, emphasizing individual and organizational interventions that can enhance employee well-being and productivity. Individual-level interventions include promoting digital wellness practices, time-management strategies, and mental resilience training. Organizational-level strategies involve establishing supportive workplace cultures, providing mental health resources, and encouraging technological moderation. Ultimately, this study highlights the importance of proactive measures to alleviate technostress and cognitive fatigue, promoting a balanced and productive work environment. © 2025, Malque Publishing.
