This study analyzes the changing field of technostress research in academic circles, focusing on important developments, influential contributions, and new subjects from 1973 to 2024. The study shows a significant increase in technostress research articles in the past ten years, particularly post-2015, with Scopus showing a more notable increase compared to Web of Science. Prominent journals such as Frontiers in Psychology, Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems, and Sustainability (Switzerland) are becoming leading sources for important research, highlighting their growing importance in the field. The evaluation also shows that the US is a top performer in total research output, with China and India experiencing significant growth in recent times. Amid the digital revolution and ongoing pandemic, technology stress still has a significant impact on both students and educators. Key topics covered are "Technostress," "Techno-Stress," "Mental Health," and "COVID-19," as discussed in well-referenced studies examining their significant impacts. In 2007, Lee conducted a comprehensive study on how technology impacts teenage driving, which included complex designs and in-depth statistical evaluations. The exhaustive review by La Torre and his colleagues in 2019 systematically explored technostress in different populations through diverse qualitative and quantitative methodologies. In addition, Gaudioso and colleagues' 2017 study using mixed methods suggested useful coping strategies based on in-depth interviews and surveys. Although providing basic knowledge, recognized limitations include the possibility of selection biases in the sources cited. However, this study helps to identify deficiencies, guide future research, and create plans to reduce technology-related stress, which is particularly important given the current heavy use of digital tools in educational settings.
