Abstract:
Maritime service is a challenging profession. In addition to demanding physical labor under real risks to life and health, it requires seafarers not only to forgo many aspects of psychological well-being but also to embrace new digital challenges. Intensive work involving modern information technology is accompanied by a number of undesirable consequences (cognitive overload, emotional distress, the erosion of boundaries between work and personal life, etc.), which lead to decreased job satisfaction and pose risks to psychological health. In this article, the author explores the etymology of the concepts of «occupational stress» and «technostress,» identifies stress factors in seafarers professional activities, and identifies the main signs of psychological disorders associated with the development of advanced technologies. Based on the research results, practical recommendations for preventing the development of negative trends are formulated.
