“…New information and communication technologies can have both positive and negative effects on employee well-being. The implementation of the new ICT tools requires new training, which may cause pressure for continuous learning (Hurtienne, 2014;Nokelainen, 2018). Another negative factor of ICT development is the element of constant availability, which is mentioned as a stressful factor (Breaugh & Farabee, 2012& Kossek et al, 2015.…”

The quick development of digitalization has transformed the nature of work and has brought new opportunities for businesses to achieve sustainable human resource management in many ways, including remote working as a means to achieve work-life balance and training access for new skill development. Objective - the objective of this study is to offer a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by private and public organizations in Kosovo. This study tries to make a comparison between these two sectors aiming to help public administration policymakers spot the gaps between sectors and improve digitalization in the public sector. Methods: we have conducted a qualitative analysis. 21 interviewed businesses explained in detail the process of digitalization and its effect on achieving work-life balance and new skills development as ways to achieve SHRM. Results: according to the analysis, digitalization is improving both public and private workers' skills. However, private companies are more likely to use remote work to achieve work-life balance, while in public organisations; digitalization has mostly helped in the training of employees. Conclusions: In general, digitalization has helped businesses achieve SHRM. Despite the fact that, in general, private-sector businesses benefit more from digitalization than public organizations.

“…Such projects deal with preservation of the function of an entity subject to transformation of the environment (Hecher et al 2016). Projects from the consortium that fall into this group address paths of resilient energy system transformation (interference space regions; P1), examine operational structures at preservation of workability (interference space between employee and company; P5, Hurtienne et al 2014), analyse the changes to legal regulation in contemporary societies (interference space between law and organisations; P6), or study stability conditions of highly volatile finance and raw material markets (interference space market and society; P10).…”

“…Changing workplace cultures that are associated with a post-Fordist, thus more knowledge-intensive economy involves a shift back from time- to task-orientation of work (McGinnity and Calvert, 2009; Sennett, 1998; Southerton, 2011). Project-based work structures stand for a “subjectification of work” (Hurtienne et al., 2014: 70–74) in which employees, first of all professionals, gain more responsibility for their work as well as more time sovereignty—at the price of eroding borders between work and private life (Pongratz and Voß, 2003 on the “entreployee”; Bröckling, 2007 on the “entrepreneurial self”; see also Nierling, 2007; Rose, 1992). On a daily basis, though, the spread of ICT is probably even more consequential for people's WLB because communication technologies imply permanent reachability and constant accessibility (Carayon and Smith, 2014; Wajcman and Rose, 2011) and evoke an alteration of social practices in the form of “[d]iscordant rhythms: multi-tasking and interruption[s]” (Davis et al., 2010: 476; see also Kenyon, 2008).…”

Europeans’ work and life – out of balance? An empirical test of assumptions from the “acceleration debate”

Advanced modernity is regarded as an era of time obsession and people in modernized societies seem to live harried lives. Leading time sociologists like Hartmut Rosa adopt a modernization-critical stance and ascribe an accelerated pace of life and frequent time scarcity to socioeconomic and technological advancement. According to these protagonists of the ''acceleration debate,'' time becomes increasingly precious due to severely changed conditions of work and private life. Against this background it can be assumed that many people may suffer from an unsatisfactory work-life balance. This study uses individual-level data from the fifth round of the European Social Survey (fielded in 2010/11) as well as suitable country-level data capturing key features of advanced modernity to empirically test assumptions arising from the ''acceleration debate.'' Results from multilevel analyses of 23 European countries provide some confirmation of these assumptions. While most macro indicators for 2010 reflecting a certain stage of development are uninfluential, a country's degree of globalization matters, and moreover growth rates of crucial macro indicators signaling paces of development exert an impact on people's work-life balance in the assumed direction: In countries with accelerations in terms of economic development, coverage of households with internet access and numbers of new cars working people show a significantly greater inclination toward an unsatisfactory work-life balance. Aside from results at the country-level individual-level determinants and group-specific differences of work-life balance under different conditions of advanced modernity are presented. This study's two main
