Impact of Digital Fatigue on the Work-Life Balance of Women Information Technology Professionals

Author(s) Ms. Susan Maria Abraham, Dr. Parag Ajagaonkar
Country India
Abstract In the field of Information Technology (IT), the increasing digitalization of working life, facilitated by remote and hybrid working has changed the landscape of professional life. Digital technologies have improved the flexibility and productivity of organisations, but over time this has led to an increase in the problem of digital fatigue. Digital fatigue is a mental, emotional and physical drain caused by the sustained use of digital devices and technology-mediated communication. In this regard, women IT professionals have their own set of challenges – they may have to deal with heavy workloads in their work and at home or take on the role of a caregiver. The aim of this study is to highlight the concept and aspects of digital fatigue, investigate the effects of digital fatigue on the work-life balance of women in the IT industry, and propose organisational interventions to reduce the negative impact of digital fatigue. The results have shown that digital fatigue has a negative impact on work life balance in terms of mental fatigue, cognitive overload, boundary collapse and physical fatigue. The study ends with recommendations for organizational interventions, such as technology-based interventions and comprehensive digital well-being policies.
