Development framework of work stress and technology absorptive capacity relationship among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in construction industry

The urges of technology adoption and usage raised work stress level within construction workforces. Construction industry is known as the slow technology growths industry and SMEs faced difficulties in technology adoption. Thus, such issues lead to high work stress and low level of technology absorp...
