Mobile and boundary-free work : A report for Monitor

Abstract

"The digitalisation of work has become more dynamic in Germany over the last years as a result of the continual increase in the performance of broadband technology along with the further development of mobile applications and mobile terminal devices.<br> Against this background, flexible forms of work - for instance, mobile work - are becoming more relevant and are moving into the focus of discussions on social policy.<br> Several questions arise in this connection. How widespread is mobile/boundary-free work today? Which groups of persons are affected and which not?<br> The current report evaluates current data from the Linked Personnel Panel (LLP) which is representative throughout Germany.<br> From statements made about the advantages and disadvantages of mobile/boundary-free work that have been experienced it is possible to extrapolate further questions in relation to differences in the perceived quality of work."
