摘要

Abstract

In recent decades

new technologies have reshaped people's working environment. Both organizations and individuals have benefited a lot from these new technologies. However

everything is two-sided

which means the development of various new technologies in the work scene

such as smartphones

has had a series of negative effects on employees' job performance and their physical and mental health. Researchers generally regard smartphone addiction in the work scene as a behavioral addiction in a specific environment. The formation of employees' smartphone addiction is affected by many factors

in which psychological factors belonging to endogenous factors and working environment factors belonging to exogenous factors are significant. Besides

in the past three years

the outbreak and popularity of COVID-19 accelerates formation of employees' smartphone addiction. The influence of smartphones addiction on employees had advantages and disadvantages while it is generally believed that the disadvantages

which have numerous negative effects on employees' physical and psychological health

personal life

family and job performance

outweigh the advantages. The mechanism of psychological smartphone addiction can be explained by job demand–resource theory and boundary theory. In the future

we still need to pay attention to the influencing mechanism of smartphone addiction and employees' job performance and figure out the key influencing factors

so as to amplify the advantages of using smartphones in the work scene and make smartphone serve to the target of improving job performance.
