Bring your Own Device (BYOD) is an increasingly popular phenomenon at work, with several potential benefits (e.g., cost reduction, convenience and flexibility) and concerns (e.g., security risk, blurring of work-life boundary, and privacy infringement). Yet, systematic research incorporating theoretical perspectives on BYOD has been limited. This paper analyzes BYOD by integrating organizational control and justice frameworks. For control, approaches advanced by Hopwood, Ouchi and Edwards were adopted, covering simple control, administrative/bureaucratic control, technical/technological control, social control, and self control. The justice framework includes both distributive and procedural fairness. It is posited that justice/fairness mediates the effects of the control mechanisms. Practices under various controls that are seen as fair or unfair are discussed and recommendations provided.

Digital addiction (DA) is an emerging problem with significant implications for organizations and individuals. However, studies of DA have been largely confined to individual situations, such as the impact on adolescent schoolwork, mental health and social interactions. Organizational studies of DA are rare. This study is intended to fill the gap by defining DA, examining current trends, challenges and impacts for organizations and employees, and by looking at how DA can be measured, and negative repercussions ameliorated. A typology is developed to explain differing organizational responses to employee DA, and steps are outlined to describe how it might be combatted.

... However, most strategies have been tested primarily with students and generational cohorts rather than in organizational settings. As a result, there is an urgent need to comprehensively address the unique challenges faced in organizational contexts (Lam & Harcourt, 2024). Thus, extant research in organizational settings sheds little light on how social media addiction and turnover intention are linked and how its adverse effects can be mitigated. ...
