The modern workplace has surely seen significant changes as a result of the technological revolution. This study explores the relationship between external auditor turnover intention and ethical conflict and technological stress. 126 external auditors' responses to self-administered questionnaires were gathered as part of a survey methodology. The findings showed a strong correlation between technological pressures, ethical tension, and turnover intention. The study offered a helpful resource for exploring technostress and ethical tension among Jordanian auditors. Furthermore, it is advised that the management of audit firms offer suitable training programs to lessen techno-stress based on these findings. Additionally, auditors may face less ethical conflict if they have a sufficient understanding of the standards that guide the industry.
