“…After all, an individual can use their smartphone for many hours each day but do so productively (Godwin-Jones, 2011; Kalkbrenner & McCampbell, 2011). For instance, many vocations require that people interact and use smartphones and other technologies to complete their duties (Ragsdale & Hoover, 2016). Therefore, focusing on the problems associated with excessive smartphone use, by measuring PSU, is likely more relevant and precise in understanding the construct surrounding excessive smartphone use.…”

Research demonstrates that depression and anxiety symptom severity are related to problematic smartphone use (PSU). However, less is known about variables mediating these relationships. This study aimed to test whether proneness to boredom increased PSU. We also tested whether boredom proneness mediates relations between both depression and anxiety symptom severity with PSU. Using a cross-sectional design, we surveyed 298 American college students about their frequency of smartphone use, levels of PSU, depression, anxiety, and boredom proneness. Using structural equation modeling, we modeled depression and anxiety symptom severity predicting boredom proneness, in turn predicting levels of PSU and smartphone use frequency (SUF). Results demonstrate that boredom proneness predicted PSU, but not SUF. Boredom proneness mediated relations between both depression and anxiety symptom severity with PSU levels (but not usage frequency). We discuss the phenomenon in terms of depressed or anxious college students having difficulty attending to their schoolwork, subsequently experiencing boredom, and engaging in PSU to relieve their boredom.

“…Derks, van Mierlo, et al (2014) and Xie et al (2018) found work-related technology use at home to be positively related to exhaustion. In two studies (Collins et al, 2015;Ragsdale & Hoover, 2016), though, more work-related cellphone use was associated with "less" exhaustion. However, Collins et al (2015) only had a small sample (n = 94) and in Ragsdale and Hoover (2016) exhaustion was no longer predicted by work-related cellphone use when cellphone attachment was controlled for.…”

“…In sum, our results suggest that workplace telepressure was consistently linked to lower levels of recovery experiences and poorer work-life balance reports using a variety of assessments. Although there may be opportunities to have positive experiences via positive ICT usage related to work messaging (Crain & Hammer, 2013;Ohly & Latour, 2014;Ragsdale & Hoover, 2016;Sonnentag, Venz, & Casper, 2017), feelings of workplace telepressure appear to consistently detract from recovery experiences and subsequently hinder work-life balance evaluations.…”

Workplace telepressure and work–life balance outcomes: The role of work recovery experiences

2019

Workplace technology has posed some challenges to worker well‐being. This research examined how workplace telepressure—a preoccupation and urge to respond quickly to message‐based communications—is related to work life balance evaluations, as well as how work recovery experiences might explain this relationship. Using an online survey design, Study 1 (N = 254) and Study 2 (N = 409) demonstrated that employees' workplace telepressure negatively related to satisfaction with work–life balance. Study 1 showed that psychological detachment may explain the relationship between workplace telepressure and satisfaction with work–life balance. In Study 2, psychological detachment and control over leisure time explained the relationship between workplace telepressure and global evaluations of work–life balance (satisfaction and effectiveness). Mastery and control experiences explained the relationship between workplace telepressure and work–family enrichment. Lastly, three recovery mechanisms (detachment, relaxation, and control) explained the link between workplace telepressure and work–family conflict. The evidence suggests that workplace telepressure is negatively associated with various employee evaluations of work–life balance, but the role of recovery experiences may depend on how work–life balance is measured.
