Do you often carry office work to your home via your mobile? Do you think it’s okay to dedicate a few minutes or hours at times working from home via mobile? Well, your spouse’s professional life might be at risk.
Scientists have recently discovered that if people use a mobile device at home for work purposes, it leads to negative implications for an employees’ spouse and theirwork life. This enlightening study was published in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology. It took opinions of 344 married couples via a survey. All the respondents worked fulltime and often used mobile devices or tablets when they were at home for work purposes.
Wayne Crawford from the University of Texas stated that though there is a lot of research available on technology and how it affects an employee, this new research was carried out to see if the use of technology carried over to disturb the spouse negatively at work or not. The results of the study were not so astonishing.
This survey highlighted that using a mobile or tablet during family time led to low job performance and lower job satisfaction. As expected Crawford didn’t seem much shocked by the results and stated that it was no surprise that a conflict was created if a spouse is making use of a mobile or tablet at home for work purpose. He also added that if you indulge in work activities during family time, it leads to trouble at work for the couple. Reference :- http://buildyourorg.com/News
