Am I outdated? The role of strengths use support and friendship opportunities for coping with technological insecurity

作者：

Highlights：

• COR theory is offered as a new theoretical lens to investigate effects of technostress.

• Technological insecurity threatens employees' general health.

• We propose support for strengths use and friendship opportunities as buffering resources.

• If both resources are highly available, technological insecurity is unrelated to health.

• Population-representative data of the German workforce support the theoretical model.
