Digital presence behavior at the workplace

Short Description: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a fundamental increase in the prevalence of remote work and the use of digital communication with colleagues, supervisors, and clients. How do workers, both employees and the self-employed, handle these changes? This research project aims at examining the extent and the consequences of the “constant connectivity” (Wajcman, 2016) by socio-demographic characteristics (gender, education, age, parenthood status), personality traits (Big 5), and job characteristics (type of contract, organizational tenure, leadership responsibilities, occupation, economic sector, remote work and working hours).

Methodological Details: Respondents were asked questions about their current work situation and especiall about working outside of their usual office/business hours.
