  The ubiquity of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in work
settings has changed the way employees behave. ICTs such as smartphones, email
and social media makes employees more connected than has ever been possible.
The degree of ICT connectivity can create a positive as well as a negative
impact on employees' productivity. In this context, the notion of ICT
self-discipline - an individual's ability to control their behaviours towards
ICTs - becomes pivotal in the process of managing ICT connectivity. This
follow-on study reports the results of an online survey of 443 to New Zealand
professionals regarding the influence of ICT self-discipline on the
relationship between ICT connectivity and employee productivity. Findings
indicated that the impact of ICT self-discipline varies depending on the
organisation and industry an employee works in. Insights and recommendations
for future research are shared in this paper. Findings from this study
contribute to IS research and practice.
