The influence of technostress and gratitude on university students’ vitality: the roles of prosocial behaviours and psychological resilience

This study investigates the role of technostress, gratitude, prosocial behaviours, psychological resilience, and their interrelationships on vitality among Egyptian and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) university students. The data collected from 527 students from both countries was examined using the PLS-SEM technique. According to the findings, students’ vitality is significantly impacted by technostress, which also has a detrimental impact on students’ feelings of thankfulness and prosocial activities. Furthermore, the data demonstrated that thankfulness had a positive influence on the prosocial behaviours and vitality of students. Students not only have a good association between their prosocial activities and their vitality, but they also have a negative relationship between their vitality and the relationship between technostress and vitality, as well as a negative relationship between gratitude and vitality (positively). Additionally, the psychological resilience of students acts as a positive moderator in the link between prosocial activities and vitality. The research makes a contribution to education representatives, educators, and students in both a theoretical and practical sense.
