Impact of Media Multitasking on Work Engagement Under the Background of the Internet Based on Resource Limitation Theory

With the rapid development of science and technology, the media is constantly updated in the current information age, and it increasingly affects people's daily lives. This paper attempts to explore the impact of media multitasking on employees’ work engagement. Based on the survey of employees in different industries, different age groups and different types of units, 202 valid questionnaires were collected, and the media multitasking index was calculated to study that modern enterprise employees spend on the media every day. According to the ranking of media usage time, the three longest media activities are: replying to instant message, using office software for work or study, and listening to music. The results of empirical research show that media multitasking has a negative impact on work engagement. Therefore, enterprises should take measures to control employees’ media multitasking behavior.
