This research examines individual drivers of private use of Information Technologies at work and the relationship that Digital Distraction has as a significant component contributing to professionals' loss of attention during their activities. Our results show that aspects associated with technological dependence are the main influences of personal Use of Technology at Work. Among these aspects, diminished Impulse Control is the most significant factor toward to the use of personal technologies compared to other factors. The research also reveals that digital distraction causes significant loss of professional concentration and that personal use of IT in the workplace is a direct effect of diminished professional engagement.
