520    Information technology has in recent years been viewed as 
       a major contributor to productivity growth. However, in 14
       studies that examined the IT use of more than 3,100 
       employees in 28 organizations in the United States, the 
       authors found a dark side to IT use. Employees can 
       experience "technostress" for a number of reasons. They 
       feel forced to multitask rapidly on simultaneous streams 
       of information from different devices simply because 
       information feeds come at them in real time; remote work 
       and flextime can tether them round the clock to their 
       devices and workplaces; and short technology cycles and 
       pressures from IT vendors mean constantly changing 
       interfaces, screens and functionalities. Ironically, even 
       as they dream of escaping from IT, many employees also 
       confess to feeling "addicted" to some of these stress-
       causing technologies. Another aspect of the dark side of 
       IT is the threat of employees misusing organizational IT 
       resources and triggering "attacks" of different kinds. To 
       mitigate these problems, the authors suggest that senior 
       executives should encourage employees to be mindful about 
       how they use IT and to develop a deeper understanding of 
       the IT they use at work. The authors also argue that a 
       company's IT leaders have a special responsibility to 
       instruct their organization about pertinent aspects of IT 
       systems and applications that could either exacerbate or 
       mitigate their more negative effects. HR leaders, 
       meanwhile, should start to assess the extent to which 
       employees are experiencing "technostress" or technology 
       addiction and develop programs that encourage responsible 
       IT use. Fortunately, the authors note, a holistic and 
       integrated approach by a company's senior executives, IT 
       leaders and HR leaders can help mitigate the most damaging
       consequences of the dark side of information technology.
