“…Work-related ICT use refers to all work-related behaviors that are executed with any kind of ICT. Employees spend an increasing amount of time using electronic devices like notebooks, smartphones, and tablets for a wide range of work tasks and to communicate with customers, supervisors, and colleagues (David et al, 2014;Day et al, 2010). The utilization of ICT facilitates work processes, since information is more accessible, tasks can be executed independent from location, and communication in a global workforce is made easier (Day et al, 2010;Diaz et al, 2012).…”

Based on the stressor-detachment model, previous research has assumed that work-related ICT use in the evening impairs psychological detachment. However, since most of the studies to date have assessed cross-sectional relationships, little is known about the actual direction of effects. In this 5-day diary study, we implemented a day-level longitudinal model to shed light on the causal relationships between work-related ICT use, detachment, and task progress (N = 340 employees, N = 1289 day-level cases). We also investigated the role of unfinished work tasks because we assumed, based on boundary theory, that they are a driving force leading to impaired detachment and work-related ICT use in the evening. Contrary to current research consensus but in line with our expectations, we found that low psychological detachment increased work-related ICT use and task progress. We found no evidence for reversed lagged effects. These results applied both to planned and unplanned ICT use. Furthermore, our results support the notion that unfinished work tasks precede ICT use and detachment. Thus, our findings suggest that work-related ICT use should not be treated as a stressor in its own right in the stressor-detachment model. Instead, it needs to be investigated as a behavioral outcome that employees engage in when they cannot detach from work.

“…Moderne IKT-Technologien steigern die Erreichbarkeit und die Möglichkeit zu arbeiten, unabhängig von Ort und Zeit im Sinne des "being connected 24/7". Nicht nur Arbeitsleistung und Produktivitätsdruck erhöhen sich durch die Nutzung moderner IKT, ebenso wird die Trennung zwischen Beruf und Privatleben sowohl in zeitlicher als auch räumlicher Hinsicht zunehmend aufgehoben (David et al 2014;Fonner and Stache 2012). Angesichts steigender Fehltage aufgrund psychisch verursachter Erkrankungen (Ayyagari et al 2011) fürchten insbesondere Arbeitnehmervertreter und Politiker negative gesundheitliche Folgen für Beschäftigte aufgrund zunehmender Entgrenzung von Privat-und Berufsleben durch permanente technologische Erreichbarkeit.…”

Smartphones und Laptops führen dazu, dass Arbeitnehmer über Handy oder E-Mail immer und überall arbeiten können und stets erreichbar sind. Da so die Grenzen von Privat-und Berufsleben immer mehr verschwimmen, befürchten Arbeitnehmervertreter und Politiker negative Folgen für Arbeitgeber und Beschäftigte. Deshalb suchen auch immer mehr Unternehmen nach Lösungen für ein effektives Erreichbarkeitsmanagement. Zur Umsetzung eines solchen Erreichbarkeitsmanagements können sowohl organisatorische als auch technische Ansätze verfolgt werden. Dieser Beitrag gibt Einblick in Ergebnisse des Forschungsprojekts SANDRA. Das Projekt entwickelt neben
