In the face of a growing number of cyber incidents and the ever-increasing pressure of the digital work environment, the problem of cyber stress is becoming a key factor limiting the effectiveness of an organisation's security strategy. Previous research has focused mainly on technostress analysed from the perspective of individual employee responses, but has overlooked its role in shaping psychological and organisational resilience in the face of cyber threats. This study fills this gap by proposing a new, integrated conceptual model in which cyber stress acts as an intermediary variable between the pressure of the technological environment and the organisation's ability to adapt and recover from incidents. The article contributes three original elements to the literature: (1) it points to the ambivalent nature of cyber stress, which, depending on organisational conditions, can be both destructive and mobilising; (2) it combines the perspective of IT security management with HR policy, emphasising the need to integrate technical procedures with practices that support employee well-being; emphasises the role of safety culture and leadership in transforming digital stress from a risk factor into a resource that strengthens team resilience.
