“…The use of gender as a moderating variable adds valuable insights, but future research could benefit from considering other demographic variables such as age, education level, and years of experience in the ICT sector. In a more sophisticated model, the relationships among digital use, risk perceptions, and job-related stress could be examined through a mediated chain that incorporates additional factors, such as work–family conflict and gendered time use ( Chidambaram and Scheiner, 2023 ).…”

BackgroundThis time-lagged study delves into the impact of digitalization on job stress. Digitalization is defined as the incorporation of digital technologies into various aspects of work life, fundamentally transforming processes, interactions, and decision-making.AimThe present research focuses on the mediating roles of job-related risk and personal risk, and the moderating effect of gender. We hypothesized that employees’ aversion to risks, both in their professional and personal facets, mediates the relationship between the rapid digitalization of their work environment and the resultant job stress. Regarding gender as a moderator, recent research suggests that gender can influence the experience of workplace stress, with women often experiencing higher levels of stress than men in certain situations. This indicates that gender might also moderate the relationship between digital living, risk perception, and job-related stress. This approach allows for an examination of the ways in which digital technology adoption influences workplace stress, considering the temporally spaced data.MethodsConducted over three waves of data collection among 795 Chinese employees, the research utilizes Hayes’s Model 8, adept at revealing the dynamics of digitalization’s influence in the workplace and its effects on individual well-being.ResultsThe study corroborates Hypothesis 1 by establishing a significant, albeit less pronounced, relationship between digital living and job stress. The findings also support Hypothesis 2 by demonstrating that both job risk and personal risk mediate this relationship. The study’s results also validate Hypothesis 3, indicating that gender moderates the relationship between digital living, job risk, personal risk, and job stress. Finally, the significant interaction effects found in the study, particularly the stronger conditional negative effect of digital living on perceptions of job and personal risks for males, despite the absence of statistical significance failed to support Hypothesis 4.ImplicationsThis study sheds light on the dynamics of job stress in the context of a digitalizing work environment. The results have important implications for designing workplace strategies and interventions that are sensitive to risk perceptions and gender differences in the digital era.

“…Socialization during travel has a positive influence on purchase satisfaction for most individuals. Individuals' socialization during travel is positively influenced by various factors, such as whether they use public transportation for their commutes, walk frequently, engage in leisure travel or getaways during evenings, nights, or weekends, live in a couple, or have younger children [39][40][41]. Women's socialization during travel is positively influenced mainly by the time they spend interacting with children and their use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT).…”

“…The activities that both women and men engage in solo during their travel, such as the use of ICT or reading, are influenced by individual economic situations and daily leisure time habits that are unrelated to travel [41,42]. Regarding the use of solo travel time by individuals, it is positively influenced by factors such as living in semi-urban geographic areas, regularly using public transportation, or, conversely, driving their vehicles [41]. It is worth noting that despite existing research indicating that travel as a couple means they have a greater tendency to engage in multitasking at the destination compared to travel alone, the degree of gender influence on travel time use is not precise [43].…”

The tourist intermediary industry has faced multiple challenges to adapt their offers to the heterogeneity of tourists, and understanding consumer interests from a gender and age perspective is considered crucial in the design and marketing of tourist products. The aim of this article is to examine the differences generated by the gender and age variables of consumers of Spanish travel agencies when choosing travel and tourist destinations, focusing on different types of travel, the choice between national and international destinations, and specific destination types. An explanatory quantitative methodology was employed with a hypothetical-deductive approach. A questionnaire was administered to individuals who booked through Spanish travel agencies and a sample of 879 was obtained. The data were analyzed using SPSS 26 software and the main statistical tool was the Pearson Chi-Square (χ2) test. The findings show that gender implies significant differences in travel preferences, with women favoring the exploration of new destinations and men preferring relaxation travel. Age groups impact the choice between national and international travel, but have a lesser effect on specific destination preferences. This research underscores the importance of considering gender and age in understanding consumer behavior within the travel sector, with the aim of developing more effective marketing strategies and catering to diverse customer needs. Within the implications, the growing importance of the older traveler segment should be highlighted, which requires future research and comparisons with the younger traveler segment.
