This paper uses bibliometric, epistemological, and substantive analyses to systematically scrutinize and categorize stress factors related to the IoT. With these analyses, this paper offers a framework that defines specific IoT-induced stressors, which might serve as a starting point for subsequent quantitative studies on reducing digital stress when working with IoT in organizations. In the end, this framework will help organizations to cope with the digital stress, increase employee efficiency and promote proper mental health in the context of the digital interconnectedness of the world.
