Technology self-efficacy and exhaustion partially mediate the relationship between technostress and work engagement. Though technology self-efficacy supports work engagement, it does not prevent exhaustion, thus it cannot fully offset fatigue under high technology demands.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Practical\/managerial implications and contribution\/value-add<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Banks should prioritize digital skills development alongside workload and wellbeing interventions.
