“…In addition, confirming our finding that smartphones intrude even in the most private of moments, Pielot et al [26] found that the number of emails received on smartphones is correlated with stress from receiving work emails after work. Moreover, we are able to confirm that Matthews et al's [20] findings are still valid after five years where people generally still use their phones to triage their email, and computers respond to messages, despite the fact that mobile behaviours are said to have changed over the course of that time [9].…”

Technology not only brings benefits such as flexible working practices but can also have negative stressful consequences such as increasing email overload and the blurring of work-home boundaries. We report on an exploratory study that extends the current understanding of email usage by investigating how different professions at a university manage work and personal emails using different devices and how this impacts their work-home boundary management. Our findings lead us to identify two user groups: those with permeable boundaries (primarily academics) and those who have more rigid ones (primarily professional services employees) and that there are differences in when, where and how they manage their work and personal emails. In particular we find that some participants use micro-boundary strategies to manage transitions between work and personal life. Based on these novel findings we propose improvements of email software design to facilitate effective email, work-home boundary management, and micro-boundary practices.

“…Diaz et al (2012) conclude that the use of communication technologies is associated with increased work satisfaction, but could also create work-life conflicts. The studies by Mazmanian et al (2013), Mazmanian (2013) and Dery et al (2014) provide further descriptive evidence on the implications of constant connectivity and always on work practices for employees. Apart from that, there is a broad literature on productivity effects of ICT in general as well as for fixed-line broadband internet.…”

AbstractMobile internet access allows for flexibility with respect to working time and working place.We analyse whether employees' use of mobile internet access improves firms' labour productivity. Our data set contains 2143 German firms and refers to the year 2014, when high-speed mobile internet was still at a relatively early stage of diffusion within firms. The econometric analysis shows that firms' labour productivity significantly increases with the share of employees with mobile internet access. Our instrumental variables approach reveals that mobile internet use does cause higher labour productivity.Keywords: Mobile Internet, Labour Productivity, Firm-Level Data. JEL Classification

Background: Currently, healthcare services, such as institutional care facilities, are burdened with an increasing number of elderly people and individuals with chronic illnesses and a decreasing number of competent caregivers.Objectives: To relieve the burden on healthcare services, independent living at home could be facilitated, by offering individuals and their (in)formal caregivers support in their daily care and needs. With the rise of pervasive healthcare, new information technology solutions can assist elderly people ("residents") and their caregivers to allow residents to live independently for as long as possible.Methods: To this end, the OCarePlatform system was designed. This semantic, data-driven and cloud-based back-end system facilitates independent living by offering information and knowledge-based services to the resident and his/her (in)formal caregivers. Data and context information are gathered to realize context-aware and personalized services and to support residents in meeting their daily needs. This body of data, originating from heterogeneous data and information sources, is sent to personalized services, where is fused, thus creating an overview of the resident's current situation.Results: The architecture of the OCarePlatform is proposed, which is based on a service-oriented approach, together with its different components and their interactions. The implementation details are presented, together with a run- * Corresponding author; Tel: +32 9 331 49 38; Fax: +32 9 331 48 99Email addresses: femke.debackere@intec.ugent.be (F.

The results indicate that the OCarePlatform is able to support a realistic working environment and respond to a trigger in less than 5 seconds.The system is highly dependent on the allocated memory.Conclusions: The data-driven character of the OCarePlatform facilitates easy plug-in of new functionality, enabling the design of personalized, context-aware services. The OCarePlatform leads to better support for elderly people and individuals with chronic illnesses, who live independently.
