Summary/Abstract: With the digitalization of companies and work, the business environment and working conditions havechanged. Namely, the progress in ICT changed the ways of work organization and influenced the new workmodel. Teleworking and mobile work provided workers with the opportunity to adapt their time and place ofwork to their needs. Accordingly, digitization enables more complex organizational forms and affects anincreasing number of tasks. The main goal of our study was to investigate the implications of work flexibilityon the worker’s health. In other words, are there any risks that this new working arrangement will lead to ashortening of working life? Our research has shown that these types of work arrangements can lead toincreased workload and overwork, even where workers have a high level of autonomy. Consequently,workers are exposed to great health risks: stress, anxiety and other health problems related to the new workenvironment.
