The results of the research reveal that employees in Lithuania are working under high techno-stress conditions that are formed by objective changes in global environment, organizations’ leaders‘ attitude to ICT possibilities of increasing employee work efficiency, and by the behavior of the employees themselves. 75 % of the employees are affected by techno-stress, and 41 % of the respondents are suffering from work and life imbalance. It is necessary to critically appraise the benefits and disadvantages of life and work style, and to learn to better adapt in the environment of new technologies. It should be highlighted that a big part of this responsibility should be taken by the leaders of organizations. There were no preceding researches on employee techno-stress in Lithuania. It is hoped that the results of the research will make this important problem more relevant, as it has an influence on organizations’ efficiency, people’s life quality and development of healthy society.
