Determinants of nurses’ job performance: the interaction of perceived occupational stress, psychological safety, and digital fatigue

The findings show that digital fatigue and occupational stress reduce nurses' job performance, whereas psychological safety enhances performance. Furthermore, digital fatigue plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between occupational stress, psychological safety, and job performance, emerging as a structural element in occupational functioning. These results reveal that organizational strategies such as supportive leadership, stress management programs, and the development of user-friendly digital infrastructure are critical in reducing digital burnout among nurses, thereby improving job performance and, consequently, the quality of patient care.
