Abstract

This study examines the impact of High Performance Work System (HPWS) and Work Culture on Employee Mental Wellness (EMW), with Technostress as a mediating variable. The research employed a quantitative approach with survey data collected from 395 employees in Salatiga City, Indonesia. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal that both HPWS and Work Culture have a significant positive effect on EMW. Furthermore, Technostress is proven to mediate these relationships, indicating that the implementation of high-performance practices and specific work cultures can generate technology-related stress, which in turn influences employees’ mental wellness. These results extend prior studies by confirming that while modern work systems and supportive culture can strengthen employee well-being, they may also produce unintended psychological burdens through technostress. From a managerial perspective, organizations are advised to balance the adoption of high-performance systems and digital technologies with effective interventions to reduce technostress, such as employee training, psychological support, and fostering a healthier work environment. This research contributes to the literature on human resource management and workplace well-being in the context of digital transformation.
