Description
Security-related overload, as a crucial component of security-related stress (SRS), has been found to reinforce employees' perceptions of the complexity and unhelpfulness of technology use, leading to a negative impact on their job performance. To alleviate this stress, employees employ active and passive coping strategies, which can be further influenced by the coping resources available to them. However, previous research has not thoroughly examined the specific coping resources that should be employed in conjunction with these coping strategies. To address this research gap, this paper utilizes leadership modes as a measure of the coping resources provided by organizations and investigates how three distinct leadership modes in the Full-range Leadership Theory (FRLT) moderate the relationship between security-related overload and coping responses. The results indicate that security-related overload triggers both active coping and passive coping mechanisms in employees, subsequently influencing their job burnout and job engagement.
