Abstract

Digital integration has become a ubiquitous feature of the workplace, leading to the blurring of work-life boundaries. This paper reviews the disconnective labor model, which outlines the key components and relationships to be studied in order to understand the impact of digital integration on work-life balance, well-being, and productivity. The model posits that digital integration is positively associated with work-life boundary blurring, and that engagement in disconnective labor is associated with improved individual and organizational outcomes. The model also suggests that coping mechanisms can mediate the relationship between digital integration, work-life boundary blurring, and disconnective labor, and that disconnective labor can mediate the relationship between work-life boundary blurring and individual and organizational outcomes. The findings of this review suggest that disconnective labor is an important concept for understanding the impact of digital integration on work-life balance, well-being, and productivity.
