Abstract(s)
Num mundo cada vez mais digital, a conectividade constante tornou-se uma característica habitual do ambiente de trabalho contemporâneo, impulsionada sobretudo pela crescente utilização de dispositivos móveis que mantêm as pessoas permanentemente ligadas. Neste contexto, é fundamental perceber fenómenos como o workaholism que têm vindo a ganhar destaque, particularmente no que se refere ao seu impacto sobre os afetos dos colaboradores.
O presente estudo teve como principal objetivo investigar se as dimensões da Desconexão Digital funcionam como variáveis mediadoras na relação entre as dimensões do workaholism e os afetos positivos e negativos. Com base numa amostra de 184 participantes,
os resultados revelaram que, no domínio dos afetos positivos, a Desconexão Digital, particularmente na dimensão das Restrições Tecnológicas, apresentou um efeito mediador significativo em todas as dimensões do workaholism (Motivacional, Cognitiva, Emocional e
Comportamental). Em contrapartida, a dimensão Comunicação não evidenciou efeitos mediadores significativos. Relativamente aos afetos negativos, não foram identificados efeitos de mediação, indicando que a Desconexão Digital não desempenha um papel relevante nessa
relação. Estes resultados reforçam a importância da gestão da conectividade digital como um fator protetor no contexto rganizacional, com especial impacto na promoção de experiências
emocionais positivas no trabalho. A presente investigação contribui ainda para a reflexão sobre estratégias organizacionais que favoreçam uma cultura de desconexão digital, como forma de mitigar os efeitos adversos associados ao Workaholism.
In an increasingly digital world, constant connectivity has become a regular feature of the contemporary workplace, driven above all by the growing use of mobile devices that keep people permanently connected. In this context, it is essential to understand phenomena such as workaholism, which have been gaining prominence, particularly with regard to their impact on employees' affections. The main aim of this study was to investigate whether the dimensions of Digital Disconnection act as mediating variables in the relationship between the dimensions of workaholism and positive and negative affect. Based on a sample of 184 participants, the results showed that, in the area of positive affect, Digital Disconnection, particularly in the dimension of Technological Restrictions, had a significant mediating effect on all the dimensions of workaholism (Motivational, Cognitive, Emotional and Behavioral). On the other hand, the Communication dimension showed no significant mediating effects. With regard to negative affections, no mediating effects were identified, indicating that Digital Disconnection does not play a relevant role in this relationship. These results reinforce the importance of managing digital connectivity as a protective factor in the organizational context, with a special impact on promoting positive emotional experiences at work. This research also contributes to reflecting on organizational strategies that encourage a culture of digital disconnection, as a way of mitigating the adverse effects associated with Workaholism.
