Abstract

Employees are constantly engaging in new technologies that allow them to be more productive. The increased ubiquity of information and communication technologies, in particular the use of mobile devices, has coincidentally increased the amount of time employees spend on work-related tasks each week. This paper attempts to better understand if individuals who are required to use mobile devices and those who voluntarily use them will have differing perceptions on mobile device use, usefulness (of the mobile device), work overload, flexibility in work structure, and work-life conflict. Secondary data from a previous study, surveying 185 working individuals of various demographics, was analyzed. The results suggest many differences in perceptions between the two groups. The findings have practical importance as managers and firms consider providing mobile devices to employees or allowing them to connect their own devices to work related systems.
