“…Until today, France is the only country that has introduced a law for supporting employees' disconnection decisions. The law demands the enactment of "modalities by which employees exercise their rights to disconnect, and the setting up of company regulations on digital devices and tools" (Secunda, 2019, p. 28 Bergen & Bressler, 2019).…”

“…France enacted an unspecific law that could be ignored by employers due to the inexistence of fines. The specific German interventions might lead to even more stress for some employees due to not accounting for interindividual differences in the preference for work-life integration (Von Bergen & Bressler, 2019). As a one-size-fits-all approach is difficult, if not impossible, to develop, it is necessary to consider differences between companies, contexts, and individuals.…”

“…Interventions with the target of potential connectivity aim at modifying the capability to connect technically and socially to work. This includes reducing the technical possibility of getting reached during the holiday such as Daimler's program "Mail on holiday" that deletes emails that are sent to employees who are on holiday (Von Bergen & Bressler, 2019). Reducing the potential social connectivity could be achieved by developing agreements specifying periods of unavailability of employees.…”

Content in digital services is often filtered for users based on individual preferences with the possible consequence of creating a state referred to as a “filter bubble”. The objective of this paper is to examine which of a user’s inherent needs that are important to satisfy when a user is consuming personalized content in a digital service. The paper uses a survey to measure the need for autonomy, competence and relatedness of the SelfDetermination Theory when users are consuming filtered content in digital services. The results show that the investigated services fail to satisfy all needs. A satisfactory user experience should include the opportunity for the user to satisfy the need for autonomy, competence and relatedness. For autonomy, transparency of filtering and choice about filtering should be offered. For competence, it is essential to offer content that the user can learn from, and also provide the right amount of choice throughout the service. The danger of filter bubbles is not personalization, but to remove choice about personalization.

Put your own “oxygen mask” on first: A behavioral typology of leaders' self‐care

Organizational leaders are essential in implementing, interpreting, and even proactively initiating changes for human resource (HR) functions to enhance workplace productivity and well‐being. However, recent studies have cautioned that providing positive and supportive leadership usually drains these organizational leaders. Although the literature has shed light on how leaders can use self‐care strategies to recharge, researchers and HR professionals know relatively little about (1) what specific self‐care actions leaders can take and (2) how external crises such as COVID‐19 constrain leaders' self‐care actions. To identify specific leaders' self‐care behaviors, which we refer to as oxygen masks, we interviewed 41 healthcare managers in Australia during the COVID‐19 pandemic in 2020. We presented a behavioral typology summarizing distinct oxygen masks that leaders used at different points in time. These oxygen masks include improving physical well‐being, improving emotional/spiritual/social well‐being, fulfilling managerial roles, and seeking collegial and organizational support. Moreover, we concluded that the COVID‐19 restrictions made some of these oxygen masks less accessible, negatively impacting leaders' well‐being. Our research conclusions have implications for theory and future studies on extending the literature associated with leadership development, leaders' resilience, and leaders' well‐being. The results also provide HR professionals with practical suggestions about assisting line managers in improving their self‐care and sustaining their leadership effectiveness.
