Chapter Chapter 4 in Work-life Integration in Africa, 2021, pp 59-86 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Discussion focused on the nature of technology and the types of technological changes affecting work–life integration. Other dimensions of technological impact on work–life integration through its features and factors with specific reference to the service and non-service work environments were explored. Technology has influenced the work environment via the nature of leadership capabilities critical for the integration of work and life domains. Furthermore, an examination of how technology has impacted and influenced the integration of work and life domains was done. With the evolution of technology, work–life integration has metamorphosed at the individual, communal, and global levels; among other things, technology has not only provided an array of options for employees in their workplaces but has also encroached into their work, private, and family lives. The chapter concludes by discussing how the flexi-nature of the contemporary work environment has impacted work–life integration.
