“…Following Potter et al, ( 2022 ), we recommend organisations to develop a guidance document stating principles about response expectations towards private and business communication to provide awareness and cultivate change among employees. Organisations will have to work out their own emphases on practices and policies in a tailor-made approach to optimally align employees’ connectivity needs with their own, which can range from simply specifying response expectations in outgoing work messages (Giurge & Bohns, 2021 ) to more drastic measures such as implementing digital detox strategies for incoming messages into the organisational culture (Mirbabaie et al, 2022 ; Wijngaards et al, 2022 ). In particular, notifications of incoming work and private messages can respectively be blocked (partially) during leisure time and work hours.…”

Communication technology enables employees to be constantly connected at the cost of potentially blurring the boundaries between work and private life, which can be detrimental to their well-being. The present study utilised a quantitative diary approach ( N = 269 employees, N = 1256 data points) to provide further evidence on the association between telepressure and ruminative thoughts within boundary-crossing contexts (i.e., including work-related behaviour and cognitions during leisure time as well as private-related behaviour and cognitions at work). On a day-to-day level, we examined if context-incongruent telepressure had a positive effect on context-incongruent affective rumination through context-incongruent message-based communication behaviour. Multilevel analyses supported our hypothesised mediation models. Altogether, findings reveal that quickly replying towards messages or its related cognition (i.e., telepressure) may result in a resource-draining experience in terms of affective rumination within both boundary-crossing contexts. Theoretical and practical implications as well as future research avenues are discussed.

“…Another barrier to survey distribution is the advancement of spam filters and institutional firewalls that do not allow passage of surveys or links to a study. Email in general is a known cause of workplace disruption, 36 and “academic spam” emails are a noted contributor to workplace stress 37 . It is intuitive that companies would seek to limit communications not deemed relevant to business.…”

Barriers to Implementing Weight Management Recommendations

et al. 2022

Dietitians are responsible for using evidence-based practice to mitigate the effects of obesity; however, it is unclear how dietitians use research to guide weight management interventions. The aim of this pilot study was to identify the barriers of research utilization and implementation of evidence-based practice in adult weight management. A survey was disseminated to dietitians working at least part-time with people with obesity. Dietitians seem to value research and evidence-based practice; however, implementation may be an issue. The pilot study found that workplace setting may provide a barrier to research utilization, but dietitian opinion of current screening and referral guidelines may also be a significant barrier to implementing best practices in adult weight management.

Why, how, when, and for whom does digital disconnection work? A process-based framework of digital disconnection

Digital disconnection has emerged as a concept describing the actions people take to limit their digital connectivity to enhance their well-being. To date, evidence on its effectiveness is mixed, leading to calls for greater consideration of why, how, when, and for whom digital disconnection works. This article responds to these calls, presenting a framework that differentiates four key harms that contribute to experiences of digital ill-being (time displacement, interference, role blurring, and exposure effects). Using these four harms as a starting point, the framework explains: (1) why people are motivated to digitally disconnect; (2) how specific disconnection strategies (i.e., placing limits on time, access, channels, and contents, interactions and features) may help them; and for whom (3) and under which conditions (when) these strategies can be effective.
