The digital transformation of workplaces has brought about unprecedented changes in how we work, but it has also introduced new challenges. In their latest research, “Employee Cognitive Workaholism and Emotional Exhaustion in a Digital Workplace: What Is the Role of Organisations?,” Prof. Dr. Jennifer Hynes, Head of Program BA Business Administration, and Prof. Hasan Koc, Head of Program BA Data Science & Business at Berlin International University of Applied Sciences (BI) explore the intersection of cognitive workaholism and digital work environments. This study is set to be published in the Humanistic Management Journal.
Prof. Jennifer Hynes and Prof. Hasan Koc's research sheds light on the cognitive aspects of workaholism, particularly in the context of digital workplaces where the boundaries between work and personal life are increasingly blurred. They identify key job demands that contribute to cognitive workaholism, leading to emotional exhaustion among employees. Their study underscores organizations' crucial role in mitigating these effects by implementing supportive policies and fostering a healthy work culture.
This research examines the role of organizations in addressing cognitive workaholism. It provides valuable insights for managers and HR professionals aiming to create more sustainable and supportive digital workplaces. It calls for a reevaluation of work practices and policies to better accommodate employees' mental health needs in our increasingly digital world.
