Abstract: Using mobile phones at work is no more an option, it becomes a daily habit. Restricted or not, companies should pay attention to the use of mobile devices at work, as long as it can influence the results obtained by the employees. But what connections are between the business necessity for using the mobile phone in working tasks and the internal regulation within organizations? This is the main question of the current paper. Based on a survey on Romanian employees, we have found that the employees perceive a permissive environment created by the managers about the use of mobile phones at work. This finding is supported by the weak or very weak positive correlations between variables describing the business necessity for using the mobile phone at work and the existence of an internal regulation about it. The results of this study can impact managerial decisions, companies’ policies and general work regulations.
