Streszczenie: Purpose This study, grounded in the Job Demands–Resources (JD–R) theory, conceptualises and operationalises the construct of the Perceived Technological Sustainability of Organisations. It aims to clarify the conditions under which technology either enhances or undermines employee well-being. Design/methodology/approach The mixed-methods approach was employed, beginning with exploratory qualitative research via focus groups to identify the key components shaping employees' perceptions of technological sustainability. These qualitative insights were then tested through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses on data collected from 647 participants, resulting in the development of a novel two-dimensional scale. Findings The study defines and enables the measurement of the Perceived Technological Sustainability of Organisations (PTSO). The findings indicate that employees perceive an organisation as technologically sustainable when technology positively influences skill development, collaboration and both mental and physical well-being, and when it does not increase workload, induce feelings of ostracism or replace inherently human tasks. Practical implications The scale provides managers with a novel tool to assess and monitor the extent to which workplace technology contributes positively or negatively to their employees' well-being across specific domains. By identifying areas where technology supports or undermines well-being, the PTSO scale enables the adoption of targeted and balanced technology management approaches that align with employee needs and promote well-being. Originality/value This research conceptualises the Perceived Technological Sustainability of Organisations and introduces a two-dimensional scale that distinguishes between the beneficial (opportunities) and detrimental (threats) aspects of workplace technology for well-being. Unlike the existing models that primarily predict attitudes towards technology prior to its adoption’ the PTSO scale is the first tool designed to evaluate the actual impact of technology on employee well-being during the post-implementation phase.
