Due to the rapid development of information communication technology, employees have conducted their tasks with smart devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs in the midst of after work hours. In line with this phenomenon, we have examined the relationships among technostress, work connectivity behavior after hours (WCBA) and technostress inhibitors and job satisfaction. Based on the results of prior research, we developed and tested our research model which posits the certain factors such as technostress, WCBA and technostress inhibitors affect work-life conflicts which, in turn influence employees' job satisfaction. Survey data collected from 345 users who have experiences on using smart devices was used to test the model using PLS (partial least squares). In this study, we found that technostress and WCBA were positively related to the work-life conflicts. We also found that the relationship between technostress inhibitors and job satisfaction was significant. The implications of these findings for both research and practice are discussed.

The rapid adoption of smartphones and tablets among employees has recently forced organizations to proactively embrace bring your own device (BYOD). The situation of COVID-19 makes the concept of BYOD even paramount. Allowing employees to bring their own mobile devices to the workplace has helped companies realize productivity gains and cost benefits. However, BYOD has also blurred the boundaries between work and personal life, thereby creating a stressful environment for employees (Doargajudbur and Hosanoo, 2023). This study explores the relationships between several BYOD attributes and investigates the effects of these attributes on work-to-life conflict. It contributes by introducing workplace connectivity after hours as a new dimension of BYOD attribute to influence work-to-life conflict. Based on boundary theory, a theoretical model is developed and tested with an online survey. The results reveal that flexibility and workplace connectivity after hours positively influence productivity, and flexibility helps to relieve instead of increase work overload. Meanwhile, a higher level of flexibility and productivity can help reduce work-to-life conflict, and a higher level of work overload induces a higher level of work-to-life conflict.

스마트기기는 업무의 시공간적 제약을 줄이고 신속한 처리를 가능하게 함에 따라 업무 효율성 및 생산성에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있는 반면에, 직장과 개인생활 간 불균형 초래로 인한 부작용이 뒤따를 수 있다. 최근 스마트기기의 업무활용이 증가하면서 그 어느때보다도 관련 현상의 이해와 원인 발견, 그에 맞는 적절한 방안들을 모색하는 것이 필요한 상황이다. 본 연구는 스마트기기의 효용성을 대표하는 기술적 특성('IT기반 업무 유연성')이 '일-삶 갈등'과 같은 부정적인 결과로 어떻게 전환되는지를 보여주는 이론적 모델을 개발하고 이를 검증하였다. 직장인을 대상으로 수집된 데이터를 분석한 결과, 주요 요인들('IT기반 업무 유연성', '근무시간 외 업무 유연성', '업무 과부하', '일-삶 갈등') 간 다양한 영향 관계, 그리고 ''일-삶 분리' 조직 지원'의 중요성과 관련하여 연구자는 물론이고 현업 종사자와 정책 입안자들에게도 의미있는 시사점이 도출되었다.
