This study aims to examine digital stress as an emerging form of technology-induced stress in the context of accelerating digital transformation. The methodology used was a descriptive approach to explain the psychological and behavioral phenomena resulting from the overuse of technology in the workplace, such as digital burnout, the culture of constant communication, and the inability to separate professional and personal life. The study reviewed the most prominent psychological theories explaining psychological stress, most notably Lazarus's "cognitive appraisal" model, Cannon's "fight or flight" theory, Selye's "general adaptation" syndrome, and Taylor's "coping and nurturing" theory. The study addressed the potential effects of digital stress on mental health, job satisfaction, team cohesion, and organizational performance. It concluded that promoting psychological well-being in the digital workplace is an urgent necessity, not only to protect individuals from negative psychological affects, but also to ensure a balanced and sustainable work environment that contributes to raising performance and enhancing professional cohesion.
