ABSTRACT
In the new electronic era, the increasing amounts of various resources make it more difficult to use information at workplace. Bring your own device (BYOD) makes employee in the business organization to handle these various information resources in the fashion way. BYOD, such as notebook and smart phone at work has become the usual and normal trend in the workplace. People deal their daily job with these devices. Trends such as the influx of workers' own devices into the workplace will require more flexible and creative management style in order to maintain the performance as usual. This study examined the theoretical framework guiding research on work design and psychological climate, consider context of BYOD, and evaluate evidence on the processes assumed to underlie these associations. The results provide support that psychological meaningfulness has significant influence on psychological safety which will positively contribute to job performance. Information processing positively contribute to psychological meaningfulness, while work-life conflict will sabotage the formation of psychological meaningfulness. Interaction outside organization is significantly related to psychological safety, while life-work conflict has a negative effect. The findings reveal that BYOD provides opportunities for employees to redefine their work. Instead of passively taking the work, employees can proactively determine the method and process of work with the BYOD.
