“…Lastly, regarding variables of interest that should be further examined in future studies, the geographic factor, the educational level and the labor system are some examples [ 9 , 28 , 29 ]. Additionally, the quality of life related to telework should be evaluated concerning quality time with children, child leisure and the quality of life with partners at home.…”

Mandatory home isolation caused by COVID-19 in professional contexts led to a situation that required work activities to be converted into a remote modality. The literature on this topic is very recent, given the pandemic and the uncertainty of virtual and face-to-face work modalities. This study aimed to examine the effects of adults’ prolonged exposure to screens on sleep quality, the type of devices used according to age and gender, periods of access to such devices and the impact on performance in the context of telework due to COVID-19. Specifically, the study analyzed the differences in the use of devices and in the time spent using them during and after teleworking between genders and age groups. A total of 127 Portuguese participants answered the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and a questionnaire that we specifically developed to characterize teleworking habits. The results showed differences between men and women regarding the use of devices and its impact on sleep quality, as well as differences in terms of age. These results are discussed in terms of how the current work context may affect performance, sleep, gender differences and the adverse effects of exposure to screens during and after work hours.

“…However, on the other hand, it is important to understand the impact of electronic devices and telework itself on mental and physical health [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. Psychological problems are more often addressed in the literature by comparing them to physical problems.…”

“…Therefore, if employees cannot avoid or wish to continue work tasks or to be available for work-related contacts after hours, they should be supported to experience positive events to the largest possible share compared to negative events (cf. Ohly and Draude, 2021). This has two major practical implications.…”

IntroductionInformation and communication technologies (ICT) allow employees to engage in technology-assisted supplemental work (TASW), such as continuing work tasks and being contacted by supervisors or colleagues after their official working hours. Research has found that TASW can have positive and negative effects on employee wellbeing. Yet, it remains unclear under which circumstances TASW is beneficial or harmful. Building on appraisal theories, we hypothesized that a more positive appraisal of TASW events is related to higher levels of daily psychological detachment and work engagement. We further proposed that daily psychological detachment is positively associated with daily work engagement and mediates the relationship between appraisal of TASW events and daily work engagement.MethodsTo test our hypotheses, we conducted a diary study with two surveys per day over five consecutive workdays (N = 135; 245 daily observations).ResultsResults of multilevel path analysis showed that a more positive appraisal of TASW was positively related to work engagement. However, appraisal of TASW events was not associated with psychological detachment and, therefore, there was no mediating effect on work engagement.DiscussionOur results contribute to existing research by investigating potential beneficial aspects of TASW and its effects on work engagement. Future research avenues and practical implications are discussed.
