Researchers found that employees who “doomscroll” at work suffer hidden costs that extend beyond lost productivity.
Ian Hughes, assistant professor in the psychological and brain sciences department at Texas A&M University, led the study in Computers in Human Behavior, finding that employees who obsessively consume negative news during the workday are more likely to get stuck thinking about what they just read. As those thoughts linger, engagement with work tends to suffer.
