Flexibility in Digitalised Working Worlds: A Comparative Perspective on the Use and Implications of Written Digital Work Communication
摘要
Written digital communication increases the availability of employees and supervisors for work-related communication irrespective of time and place. This may serve the flexibility interests of employees and/or supervisors. Applying a cross-national comparative perspective, this research shows that the use of written digital communication in the work relationship between employee and supervisor and the implications for work-to-life conflict differ across European countries, depending on existing family and labour market policies.
