Mindfully and Confidently Digital: Personal Resources to Mitigate the Dark Side of Digital Working, 2021

The increased reliance on digital working due to Covid-19 has highlighted both the advantages and potential pitfalls of digital workplace technologies. While there has been a surge in research in this domain lately, there is still an absence of a cohesive perspective encompassing different fields, technologies, negative effects, and outcomes.

Using the Job-Demands Resources model as a theoretical foundation, 142 workers were surveyed regarding their levels of trait mindfulness and digital workplace confidence, along with their experiences of the dark side effects (stress, overload, anxiety, Fear of Missing Out and addiction) and well-being outcomes (burnout and health).Using the Job-Demands Resources model as a theoretical foundation, 142 workers were surveyed regarding their levels of trait mindfulness and digital workplace confidence, along with their experiences of the dark side effects (stress, overload, anxiety, Fear of Missing Out and addiction) and well-being outcomes (burnout and health).
