  Background: Employee innovation is a crucial aspect of organizations in the
current era. Therefore, studying the factors influencing individual innovation
is vital and unavoidable. Undoubtedly, job satisfaction is a significant
variable in management sciences. Nowadays, all organizations are interconnected
with technology. Objective: This research explores the relationship between job
satisfaction and individual innovation, including its components, and the
moderating role of technostress. Research Method: This study, in terms of
purpose, is applied, and in terms of data collection method, it is a
descriptive survey. Data collection tools included the Technostress Inventory
by Tarafdar and colleagues (2007), Janssen's Individual Innovation
Questionnaire (2000), and the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) by Spector (1994).
The validity and reliability of these questionnaires were confirmed. The sample
size for this study was 215, and data analysis was performed using SPSS and
SMART-PLS software. Findings: Job satisfaction has a significant and positive
relationship with individual innovation, idea generation, idea promotion, and
idea implementation. Technostress moderates the relationship between job
satisfaction and individual innovation, as well as idea generation and idea
promotion. However, technostress does not play a moderating role in the
relationship between job satisfaction and idea implementation. Conclusion:
Based on the obtained results, organizations should take necessary measures to
increase job satisfaction and reduce technostress among their employees.
