The Impact of Work Conflict on Work Stress Among IT Employees

This study examined the impact of work conflict on work stress among IT employees. The rapid development of information and computer technology in Indonesia in actualizing the digital transformation in Indonesia requires a very large role from IT employees. As a result, IT employees tend to have a large workload, which may lead to increased work stress. Work stress arises from the interaction between individuals and their work environment. In the workplace, IT employees not only work individually but also work in teams very often. One of the factors that contribute to work stress is work conflict, which can occur anywhere and at any time. Therefore, effective conflict management is essential to ensure the employees productivity and organizational productivity are not disrupted. This research used a quantitative method with simple linear regression analysis. This study involved a sample of 106 IT employees that were selected using purposive sampling, and the data were collected using a questionnaire. The result showed a significance value of 0,000 (p < 0.005), with an F value of 36.044 and an R Square of 0,264. The results of this study indicate a very significant impact between work conflict and work stress among IT employees.
