Set in France, this enquiry explores the phenomenon of BYOD (Bring Your Own Devices), which describes the trend among employees to bring their own devices (e.g., tablets, smartphones, and laptops) to work, and connect them to the corporate network. Although bringing personal devices into the workplace offers benefits, such as allowing staff flexibility to work anytime, anywhere, and on any devices, the risks include data leaks, accidental data loss or theft, and devices being used for nonprofessional activities. To explore this phenomenon, data is collected by means of focus group discussion with Gen X employees and interactive seminars with human resource specialists. Based on the findings, it is possible to identify factors that inspire BYOD among Gen X employees, and ramifications for employers and other digital users.
