25 percent of Norwegians working hours spent on the use of mobile devices such as tablets, smart phones and laptops outside the workplace.

comparison report only 16.5 percent of Swedes and 15.9 percent of Danes are the same.

– I’m not surprised that Norwegians tops the statistics here. Not only do we have a strong economy that facilitates the spread of technological equipment. Norwegians are very quick to make consumer-oriented technology changes, triggering a self-reinforcing effect when we take our private use habits in the workplace, says Torgeir Waterhouse, Director of Internet and new media in the IKT Norway.

survey on the use of mobile devices is performed by Contour Design Norway, working with ergonomic computer equipment for Norwegian jobs.

survey covers over 7500 respondents in Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

Increased efficiency requirements

It also shows that nearly half of all Norwegians checks his mobile once an hour or more. In Sweden, the figure is 38.5 per cent and 38.2 per cent in Denmark.

– The use of mobile devices make the employees more efficient, but at the same time increasing demands for efficiency, so you still feel that you are lagging behind, says senior Asbjørn Grimsmo at Work Research.

recently conducted a survey of 3,700 journalists, which showed that although the use of mobile devices streamline your workday, the new efficiency requirements at the time a little louder.

Grimsmo believe the new flexibility in the labor market puts higher demands on self-management and setting boundaries.

– It creates expectations that you will be provided when you can work anywhere anytime. The consequence is that if you are not good at setting limits, work one more than agreed, and is helping to undermine his own salary. It is difficult to measure overtime that is not agreed upon, but the prevalence of mobile devices suggests that many work part free for employers, perhaps often at the expense of family and friends, says Grimsmo.

Women keenest

According

mobile survey Norwegian women more concerned with checking your smartphone or tablet during the day than Norwegian men.

than half of Norwegian women (52.5 percent) checks the mobile devices once an hour or more on average, compared with 4 of 10 Norwegian men.

same time provide the men that they increasingly have experienced pain and discomfort associated with mobile phone use than Norwegian women, with nearly 3 out of 5 men against half of the women, the study shows.

– Then people started getting pains of using traditional computer mouse in the office, there were not many who were concerned at first. However, it turned out that the pain was severe. We would like to remind you that we can not let history repeat itself by committing the same mistakes that we have committed in the past, says Lise Ødgren, CEO of Contour Design.
