Impact of Digital Nomadism on Work-Life Balance and Personal Boundaries

Abstract

This study examines digital nomads' lifestyle through its effects on work-life balance and technology dependence along with personal boundary control and psychological hurdles. Using qualitative research design, the study data was collected by conducting interviews with digital nomads across industries with the help of which the research was able to gage the concept of dual nature of this lifestyle: Despite giving people freedom in where they work the digital nomad experience challenges in maintaining work-life balance and leads to professional exhaustion. This research shows both benefits and drawbacks that emerges when technology helps individuals to work faster but makes people more reliant on screens and reduces human connection and interaction with others. Organizations and digital nomads develop structured work habits while virtual support groups and company policies help them succeed. This present study leads to address the significance of balancing the stability with flexibility, advocating for result-based work assessments and legal protections to digital nomads. Digital nomadism necessitates organisations, individuals and governments to address its challenges despite its transformative potential in order o ensure sustainability. Although this research teaches us about today's working practices it faces limitations from small sample size to data transferability problems plus ongoing changes in remote work technologies. This research creates a starting point for studying digital nomad practices and helps us predict work trends in the future.
