Modern  corporate  culture  in  the  context  of  Bauman’s  liquid  modernity  is  greatly  defined  by  the level of freedom, in particular, flexibility, mobility,  new  technologies  and  mass  communications.  Staying  connected  24/7 both in professional and private life known as ‘hyperconnectivity’ becomes commonplace.   Hyperconnectivity   entails  not  only  positive  but  also  negative  consequences  regarding  the effectiveness of an individual’s work as well as the work of entire organizations. The purpose of the article is to consider the negative aspects of the use of mobile devices  as  a  way  to  establish  work­-life  balance  in  the  context  of  modern  liquidity. Individual’s ‘right to disconnect’ minimizing the adverse effects of hyperconnectivity is essential to the analysis of the issue. The right to disconnect is a new addition to the list of labor rights allowing  an  individual  to  disconnect  from  the  work  primarily  by  switching  off  e­mail  or  disabling  work­related  messages during non­working hours. To study  the  need  to  introduce  ‘the  right  to disconnect’ and to achieve a better work-­life balance the authors examine the labor practices in South Korea and two European countries (Germany and France).
