NEW YORK (Reuters) - Cellular telephones and wireless BlackBerry email devices may be addictive, but most business executives insist mobile technology has improved the balance between their work and home, a study said on Thursday.
The study, by executive recruitment firm Korn/Ferry International, found four out of five executives globally are always connected to work through mobile devices, such as cell phones, PDAs (personal digital assistant), laptops or pagers.
More than one-third of 2,300 executives surveyed in 75 countries believed they spent too much time connected to communications devices.
But more than three-quarters, or 77 percent of respondents, said they believe mobile communication devices primarily enhance their work/life balance rather than impede it.
