Original title El proceso de "tecnoestrés" y estrategias para su prevención (I) [in Spanish]
Bibliographic information 1999, No.1, p.18-28. Illus.
Abstract Technological innovations induce changes in work methods and are therefore sources of stress. Part I of this article analyses the main changes due to new technologies which have an incidence on worker's psychosocial health and associated organisational and individual factors. Part II (see CIS 00-1644) examines strategies for stress prevention by controlling stress factors and by changing the subjective perception of stress.
