“…Backer-Grondahl and Sagberg [36] further emphasized that the use of hand-held phones while driving has become a significant contributor to traffic crashes among road accident victims. A similar finding has also been highlighted by Horsman and Conniss [33], who reported the illegal use of hand-held phone as the key attributor in drivers' distraction problems. The urge to answer a call and read messages as soon as they receive it while driving has led to a greater accident risk [37].…”

Human factors specifically, perceived behavioural control (PBC) is among the accident causation factors leading to risky driving behaviour among young drivers. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the relationship between PBC and young drivers' risky driving behaviour, PBC and accident involvement as well as the mediating role of risky driving behaviour to mediate the relationship between the PBC and accident involvement. The sample of this study involved active young drivers aged between 18 and 25, possess valid driving license, with at least six months of driving experience and have been involved in a road accident for the past 12 months. Results showed a significant relationship between PBC and young drivers' risky driving behaviour as well as the PBC and accident involvement. Moreover, risky driving behaviour was proved to mediate the relationship between PBC and accident involvement.

“…powerlog and Android's buffer logs can show a driver's direct or passive activity on their mobile device, which can be used to provide an explanation for the events leading up to a crash. [ 30 ] Although numerous laws and regulations have been enacted worldwide to address the use of mobile devices while driving, enforcement remains a challenge. [ 1 31 ] Another challenge is in determining culpability for a crash.…”

“…The questionnaire comprises 24 questions, with many sub-questions (items) that collected the ratings given by respondents on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = "never"; 5 = "very often" or 1 = "totally agree"; 5 = "totally disagree"), using rating names adapted to each question. Many of the items of this tool are related to information processes and information channels accessed through mobile phones, already discussed in the results of other studies [1,2,13,21,26,30,35,37,40,41,44,49], including perceptions of the behavior of managers related to the use of mobile devices at work, plus personal data covering nationality, age, gender, the highest level of education reached in a specific field. However, as this study focuses only on information processes used at work for personal or professional purposes, the additional collected data will be used in future research.…”

Using Mobile Phones at Work in Personal and Professional Information Processes

Employees use mobile phones for several information processes at work, either in relation to their work or their personal life. This study uses descriptive statistics and regression analysis in order to identify which information processes are accessed by employees to reach their personal and professional goals when using mobile phones at work, using a sample of 368 professionals from different fields in Romania. The results of the study show that messaging applications (e-mail, sms, Messenger, Whatsapp, etc.) and searches for information on the Internet are the biggest time consumers for personal purposes, while telephone conversations (voice only) and searches for useful information on the Internet are the biggest consumers of working time for professional purposes. Based on the opinions of employees, we found that the most important effect of mobile phone use at work for personal purposes lies in the fact that it helps employees be more productive through a better work–life balance. The mobile phone was originally designed as a personal device, but today, since employers are allowing or requiring its use, during work, it is also used for professional purposes.
