O direito a desconexão e as implicações do trabalho exaustivo na geração conectada monografia

Abstract

This article examines the right to disconnect and the impacts of digital technologies on work-life balance. Rapid technological evolution and increased connectivity have fostered new ways of working, but have also created challenges, such as the difficulty in establishing clear boundaries between professional and personal time. The aim is to analyze how hyperconnectivity affects workers’ mental health and quality of life, in addition to discussing the regulatory challenges to ensuring the right to disconnect. The methodology employed consists of a literature review of legal and sociological studies on the subject, complemented by examples of national and international legislation. The results indicate that, although the use of technologies can increase productivity, it also entails risks of overload and burnout. It is concluded that adequate regulation of the right to disconnect is essential to protect workers’ well-being and promote a more sustainable work environment.
