Abstract:

This cross-sectional study examined whether AgeTech adoption moderates the association between job stress and turnover intention among long-term care workers in South Korea. A survey was conducted among care workers employed in 15 long-term care facilities and hospitals, and data from 217 respondents were analyzed. The findings showed that job stress was significantly associated with greater turnover intention among care workers. In addition, higher levels of AgeTech adoption weakened this positive relationship. The results provide empirical evidence that AgeTech functions as a buffering resource in the caregiving environment. Effective AgeTech adoption may serve as both a practical measure and a policy strategy to alleviate workforce shortages and enhance long-term care sustainability.
