Hypothesis Testing Summary for Technostress Study in Automated Manufacturing

605 employee responses at baseline and 450 at a four-week follow-up were collected across five automated manufacturing plants. The dataset, created by Umut Elbir and last updated in April 2026, contains results from a two-wave panel study investigating technostress, mental health, burnout, engagement, and safety outcomes. It likely includes summary statistics from multilevel and moderation analyses testing the Job Demands–Resources model.

Use Cases

• Testing moderation effects based on job resources like supervisory ICT support and recovery opportunities mentioned in the description
• Analyzing multilevel relationships based on psychosocial safety climate at crew and organizational levels
• Modeling the contingent effects of technostress on outcomes like mental health and safety behaviors

Strengths

• Data from a two-wave panel design with 605 and 450 responses provides a longitudinal perspective
• Study conducted across five automated manufacturing plants, suggesting a multi-site sample
• Results are structured for hypothesis testing, as indicated by the title and description

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The 5.5 KB file size indicates a very small, likely summary-level dataset
