Abstract
While acknowledging the benefits of anytime-anywhere connectivity, recent research called for investigating the dark side of mobile technologies in blurring the line between work and non-work contexts. In this domain, mobile addiction represents an emergent and pivotal concept that may provide a better understanding of the boundaries between work and family. By relying on resource drain theory, we investigate how family-work conflict (FWC) affects individual mobile addiction and subsequent family undermining and individual mindfulness under different levels of competitive climate on the workplace. We conducted a filed study across two measurement periods involving 324 individuals along with their partners. Our results suggest that FWC affects mobile addiction, which in turn affects family undermining and individual mindfulness. Moreover, our study points out that the mediated relationship between FWC and individual outcomes through mobile addiction is moderated by competitive climate. We discuss the implications of these findings for theory and practice and outline directions for future research.
