Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
This article aims to contribute to understanding the relations between constant connectivity and well-being, especially on the impact of organizational antecedents of constant connectivity among workers who intensively use mobile work devices (MWDs) to carry out their tasks. For that purpose, we expanded the Structural Equation Model proposed by Büchler, Hoeven and Zoonen (2020) to encompass variables that allow to measure the impact of job insecurity (JI) on constant connectivity. Job insecurity is considered one of the most relevant work stressors and may trigger coping mechanisms that make employees act in ways they believe can prevent job loss. The research sample encompasses 420 American and 289 Brazilian workers, and data was treated on Smart PLS. The main results point that (i) JI influences constant connectivity; (ii) the alignment between MWD connectivity perception and occupational identity had the strongest association with constant connectivity, both in the present and in previous research, and (iii) well-being could not be explained by the model, suggesting that this complex construct may have other relevant variables to account for its measuring. The main contribution is to provide information to organizational practitioners and policymakers regarding contemporary work challenges.
