Overview

This scoping review analyzes how digital technologies affect social support dynamics for older workers, suggesting critical implications for workplace well-being.

Key Points

  • Digital technologies enhance social support for older workers, but can also lead to feelings of isolation.
  • Remote work technology and messaging apps improve emotional connections and information sharing among employees aged 50 and older.
  • Following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, 43 relevant studies were analyzed to assess the impact of digital tools on social support.
  • Targeted digital literacy programs are necessary to mitigate technostress and support older workers in adapting to new technologies.
