“…Industrial revolution (IR) 4.0 has brought cyberphysical systems with the Internet of Things, robotics and artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing [32,33]. Hyperconnectivity is an advanced form of the Internet of Things [34,35], which explains what person-to-person, person-to-machine, and machine-tomachine communication, including emails, instant messaging, telephone, face-to-face, and Web 2.0, information service as communication sources means [3,36]. An employee is hyperconnected with his supervisor and other employees, horizontally and vertically, and with customers and suppliers [37,38].…”

There is an increasing acknowledgment of the added value obtained by integrating technological efforts to engage employees round the clock for organizational productivity. Hyperconnectivity is the demand of time for competitive advantage in businesses, but studies on its impact on the health and well-being of the employees have been neglected in academic research. Hence, in this study, we investigated the effect of hyperconnectivity on health and well-being, and in moderating the effect of work-to-family conflict and job demand control imbalance on the health and well-being of the office employees. An online questionnaire survey was used to collect data from 410 office employees working in the oil and gas industry in Malaysia. Respondents were approached through the LinkedIn forum. Statistical tests, principal component analysis, structural equation modeling, and path analysis were conducted. It is found that hyperconnectivity has a negatively insignificant effect on health and well-being. In addition, hyperconnectivity significantly strengthens the negative effect of job demand control imbalance (22%) and work-to-family conflict (24%) on health and well-being. It is concluded that hyperconnectivity decreases health and expedites other psychosocial hazards related to the health and well-being of the employees. Urgent measures should be taken to reduce unnecessary and frequent online notifications, messages, emails, and phone calls, both during and off-working hours. In this way, the effect of job demand control imbalance and work-to-family conflict can be reduced on the health and well-being of the office employees. Considering the negative consequences of hyperconnectivity, this problem should be addressed in health and safety policies in organizations. Future studies can investigate the effect of hyperconnectivity on job demands and control separately.

“…Although technology trends like IoT appear to be primarily designed for large companies, low-cost IoT applications can serve SMEs’ needs improving business and manufacturing processes through remote monitoring and control operations, enhancing workforce productivity and preserving resources (Hansen and Bøgh, 2020; Masood and Sonntag, 2020). In this sense, through IoT solutions, companies can collect data to support decision-making, customized products or services, strengthen the relationship between the company and the customer and compete in domestic and global marketplaces from innovation and technological development activities (Gartner, 2017b; Neagu et al , 2019).…”

Purpose This paper aims to assess information and communication technologies (ICT) policies for digital transformation in Colombia to determine their effectiveness in technology readiness for Internet of Things (IoT) adoption in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the trading sector. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted a longitudinal study using the ICT module of the Annual Trade Survey (2017–2018) to determine the relationship between SMEs in the trading sector adopting ICT applications and ICT policy enforcement. In this sense, this study applied a chi-square test for independence and addressed a descriptive analysis to determine SMEs’ causes for adopting or rejecting ICT applications. Findings This study presents the state of ICT adoption in Colombian SMEs in the trading sector between 2017 and 2018, highlighting that technology readiness is crucial for adopting technological trends. Research limitations/implications The data source used for the study is only available for analysis one year after implementing ICT policies focused on digital transformation. Practical implications The results support the need for the National Government to formulate IoT policies that favor the adoption of e-commerce based on IoT technologies in SMEs in the trading sector. Social implications IoT adoption can mitigate e-commerce problems strengthening SMEs’ competitiveness in the trading sector leading the digital transformation in Colombia. Originality/value This study presents the need to formulate IoT policies in Colombia focused on deploying IoT applications to strengthen e-Commerce in SMEs in the trading sector.

“…In this context, IoT represents a business opportunity for cellular network operators, as IoT devices often need to connect over wide area networks to enable their application in different scenarios. Since the concept of IoT was introduced to consumers in 2009, predictions about its evolution have been coming true [ 16 ], and as a result of this development, IoT devices are connecting in smaller numbers via 2G or 3G networks, and since 2019, connections via technologies such as Narrow Band IoT (NB-IoT) or CAT-M are increasing [ 17 ]. Projections presented in [ 18 ] foresee some 27 billion connected IoT devices worldwide.…”

The deployment of 5G around the world continues to progress at a rapid pace, especially in North America and Asia. Its advantages and efficiency as a data transmission network have been widely demonstrated in different fields such as agriculture, education, health, and surveillance. However, this process does not have the same dynamics in Latin America, specifically in Colombia. The country is currently implementing actions aimed at facilitating the deployment of this technology in the short term, including pilot tests for the use of the radio spectrum, spectrum auctions, the planning of future auctions, and the review of spectrum caps. The results of this review allow us to conclude that despite the forecasts and the intentions of the Colombian government and mobile communication service operators, 5G in standalone mode will not be commercially available in Colombia before the end of 2023. The main failures in its deployment are related to the lack of available spectrum to support the ultrahigh-reliability and low-latency, enhanced mobile broadband, and massive machine-type communications scenarios, as well as the delay in the auction processes for its assignment.
