[Purpose/significance] With the exponential growth of work-related data, digital hoarding has become a typical irrational behavior in the workplace. By clarifying the influencing factors and mechanisms of digital hoarding be⁃havior in this context, this study aims to provide recommendations for optimizing existing research paradigms and im⁃plementing targeted coping strategies. [Method/process] Based on the I-PACE model, this research explores the influ⁃encing factors of digital hoarding behavior in the workplace across seven dimensions: individual characteristics, organi⁃zational pressure, technostress, coping styles, cognitive biases, emotional and cognitive responses, and lack of self-con⁃trol. Additionally, it analyzes the conceptual implications and behavioral consequences. Through normative analysis,this study elucidates five influencing and action mechanisms: individual bias mechanisms, emotion intensification
mechanisms, cognitive dissonance mechanisms, compensatory loss of control mechanisms, and behavioral consequence mechanisms, proposing five normative propositions accordingly. [Result/conclusion] This study constructs a frame⁃work for the influencing mechanism of digital hoarding behavior in the workplace based on the I-PACE model. Future research prospects and coping strategies are suggested for different mechanisms. The findings aim to enrich research on digital hoarding behavior and optimize information management practices in the workplace.
