This study aims to analyze the technostress experienced by Indonesian seafarers in the digitalization era by identifying the dominant dimensions of technostress. measuring the level of technostress in Indonesian seafarers. and exploring the influencing factors and impacts caused by technostress on seafarers' performance and well-being. This study uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive-analytical research design to analyze technostress in Indonesian seafarers in the era of maritime digitalization. The population in this study were Indonesian seafarers working on merchant ships. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software version 26. The results showed that Indonesian seafarers experienced a moderate level of technostress. All dimensions of technostress showed a significant influence on well-being. including techno-insecurity (β=-0.101. p=0.034) which did not affect performance. Analysis of technology use intensity revealed that satellite communication had the highest correlation with technostress (r=0.468. p<0.01). despite not being the most technically complex technology. This finding underscores the urgency of multi-level interventions that focus not only on individual technology training but also on systemic improvements in maritime technology design. organizational support. maritime education curriculum reform. and policies that protect seafarers' work-life boundaries.
