Abstract

Stress has caused critical problems in information technology-intensified organizations. Besides the relationship between job engagement and job performance, the model highlights the relationship between two kinds of stress (hindrance stress and challenge stress) and job engagement, which are neglected by IT studies. Data will be gathered from IT professionals in Chinese IT companies. The findings can help improving IT professionals’ job performance by setting them different difficulties of work tasks to encourage their high level job engagement. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.
