Descripción: In this study, the effect of techno-stress on accountants and managers in select critical economic sectors in Nigeria is x-rayed. This is motivated by the devastating consequences of this problem to organizations in many parts of the world. The objectives sought included to determine the effect of techno-stress on the performance and health of majority of middle-level and senior managers in the Nigerian banking and brewery sectors. Opinion survey techniques were employed in gathering data, which were analyzed with 5-points Likert’s scale. Area of study was Enugu metropolis and the 9th Mile corner of Enugu State of Nigeria. Results indicate that techno-stress has not significantly affected the performance of majority of middle-level and senior managers negatively in the Nigerian banking and brewery sectors. It has not also significantly increased the rate of ill-health of majority of managers in the Nigerian banking and brewery industries. However, mindful of the devastating effect of the problem, it is recommended that organizations should occasionally contract clinical psychologists and occupational therapists to organize health lectures for their staff on techno-stress, send them on frequent computer-trainings, reduce their work-loads and allow them more leisure and holidays.
