Information and Communication Technologies significantly benefit individuals and organizations but also bring negative consequences such as failures, overload, and stress. The quality of human-technology interaction is critical for success. IT mindfulness has emerged as a key factor associated with improvements in the use and performance of information systems, enhancing task-technology fit, satisfaction, and performance. This study aimed to translate, adapt, and validate the full and short versions of an IT mindfulness scale for Portugal. It used a national sample of 1107 higher education faculty members from a progressively digitized sector. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were employed. As a result, two scales with robust psychometric properties were obtained, useful for contexts requiring brevity in application and valuable for both research and management practice, providing effective tools to understand and optimize human interaction with technology.

Keywords : ICT; IT Mindfulness; Task-Technology Fit; Scale Validation.
