This book investigates how the integration of digital media into the modern workplace alters employee behavior, psychological well-being, and overall organizational productivity. Arnold B. Bakker and Daantje Derks, both established experts in work and organizational psychology, synthesize current research to examine the dual nature of digital tools. They argue that while digital media facilitates connectivity and flexibility, it also introduces significant stressors that require new management frameworks to mitigate. The text provides a comprehensive overview of how digital communication impacts the cognitive and emotional states of workers in various professional environments.

Experts in organizational psychology recognize this work as a vital resource for understanding the psychological costs of the digital workplace. Readers frequently note the academic rigor of the prose, making it a foundational text for managers and human resource professionals seeking to implement healthier digital policies.
