UNDERSTANDING WORKPLACE GADGET USE AMONG PHILIPPINE COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EMPLOYEES

The use of workplace gadgets among employees has become an integral aspect of modern work environments, influencing both personal and professional productivity, communication, and overall workplace efficiency. In the context of the Philippine College of Science and Technology (PhilCST), the integration of devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets plays a crucial role in facilitating professional tasks, streamlining administrative processes, and enhancing employee engagement (Johnson & Taylor, 2020). However, alongside these benefits, concerns arise regarding the balance between professional responsibilities and personal gadget use during work hours (Smith et al., 2019).
