In the current era, employee innovation plays a crucial role in the success of organizations. Therefore, it is essential to study the factors that influence individual innovation. One significant variable in management sciences is job satisfaction. With advancements in technology, all organizations are now interconnected with technology. The objective of this research is to explore the relationship between job satisfaction and individual innovation, including its components, while considering the moderating role of technostress. The study adopts an applied purpose and utilizes a descriptive survey as the data collection method. The Technostress Inventory by Tarafdar and colleagues (2007), Janssen's Individual Innovation Questionnaire (2000), and the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) by Spector (1994) were used as data collection tools, with their validity and reliability confirmed. The sample size for this study was 215, and data analysis was conducted using SPSS and SMART-PLS software. The findings reveal that job satisfaction has a significant and positive relationship with individual innovation, specifically in terms of idea generation, idea promotion, and idea implementation. Furthermore, technostress was found to moderate the relationship between job satisfaction and individual innovation as well as idea generation and idea promotion. However, technostress did not play a moderating role in the relationship between job satisfaction and idea implementation. Based on these results, organizations should take necessary measures to increase job satisfaction among employees while also addressing technostress issues. By doing so, organizations can foster a conducive environment for individual innovation within their workforce.

The Relationship Between Job Satisfaction and Individual Innovation: Exploring the Moderating Role of Technostress

In today's competitive business landscape, organizations are increasingly relying on employee innovation to stay ahead of the curve. As such, it is essential for managers to understand the factors that influence individual innovation in order to create an environment conducive to creativity and productivity. One significant variable in management sciences is job satisfaction, which has been linked with higher levels of individual innovation. However, with advancements in technology, all organizations are now interconnected with technology and this brings its own set of challenges. The objective of this research was to explore the relationship between job satisfaction and individual innovation while considering the moderating role of technostress.

Methodology

This study adopted an applied purpose and utilized a descriptive survey as the data collection method. The sample size for this study was 215 participants from various industries who were selected using convenience sampling technique. Data collection tools included Technostress Inventory by Tarafdar et al (2007), Janssen's Individual Innovation Questionnaire (2000), and Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) by Spector (1994). Validity and reliability tests were conducted for each instrument used in order to ensure accuracy of results obtained from data analysis. SPSS software was used for descriptive statistics while SMART-PLS software was used for structural equation modeling techniques including confirmatory factor analysis, path analysis, multiple regression analysis etc.,

Results

The findings reveal that job satisfaction has a significant positive effect on individual innovation across all three components – idea generation, idea promotion, and idea implementation – indicating that employees who are more satisfied with their jobs tend to be more innovative than those who are dissatisfied with their jobs. Furthermore, technostress was found to moderate the relationship between job satisfaction and individual innovation as well as idea generation and idea promotion; however it did not play a moderating role when it came to job satisfaction’s effect on idea implementation.

Conclusion & Implications

Based on these results it can be concluded that organizations should take necessary measures to increase job satisfaction among employees while also addressing technostress issues if they wish foster a conducive environment for individual innovation within their workforce. This research provides insights into how managers can create an optimal work environment where employees feel motivated enough to come up with creative ideas without feeling overwhelmed or stressed out due to excessive use of technology at work place
