Abstract
Mobile technology, with both its ever-improving connectivity and the capabilities of mobile terminals, has revolutionized the way we can work (and lead our private lives). Basically, connectivity through mobile devices and the ability they provide to work at any place and any time can be a double-edged sword: on the one hand, it can open up important advantages, such as increased flexibility, efficiency, and effectiveness; on the other hand, working individuals may increasingly struggle to balance their work and life domains.
