Technological innovation is the focus of this paper, which integrates the literature on the individual-level experience of computing technology transitions from a wide variety of disciplines. From this review, preventive interventions are developed to ease the stressful aspects of technological change for the individual and facilitate positive adjustment for the organization. Finally, cooperative efforts between researchers and practitioners are called for, and a more holistic framework with suggestions regarding the content and process of such joint ventures is proposed.
