ABSTRACT
Introduction: With the evolution of technologies, new digital resources have emerged establishing different practices in human behavior, including the excessive use of digital devices, causing different dependencies due to the nonconscious use of these technologies. The digital use of digital devices will always be very important to the organizational process, but the abusive or excessive use can bring performance problems at work and also for people. Collective environments of organizations also begin to show "symptoms" of these dependencies, and observing these behaviors can contribute to greater employees comfort and the functioning of the business organization. Objective: To identify the level of digital dependency of employees in organizational environments and to investigate this dependency associated with demographic characteristics. Method: Data collection took place online, from 11.05.2019 to 03.05.2020, with a sample totaling 307 volunteers and 13 questionnaires excluded due to filling error, ending with 294 valid questionnaires. A validated scale was used to Assess Digital Employee Dependence (EDDE), with 19 questions (Annex 1) and inserted in the Google Forms platform, widely used for data collection in surveys. After the collection procedure, a database was created for statistical analysis and discussion of the results. Results: Factor Analysis identified 4 factors using the Kaiser Method, via Scree Plot and 19 questions were maintained, according to previous applications of this questionnaire. The sample presented itself without digital dependence (42.2%) or with mild dependence (30.3%). Only women had a severe level of digital dependence, but with low significance (1.7%). Conclusion: The severe digital dependency had a very low score, while the sum of volunteers without dependence with a mild level characterizes a sample without relevant digital dependence. Women showed a higher level of digital dependence although more research needs to confirm this sign. The limitations found for applying the research did not compromise the results.

Introducción Nuestra comprensión de la organización funcional del cerebro se debe a los avances en las técnicas de neuroimagen y a una intensa investigación clínica. Recientemente, la ciencia cognitiva (neurociencia cognitiva) en combinación con los avances tecnológicos han cambiado nuestra comprensión sobre la relación cerebro-conducta. Esta relación simbiótica ha permitido una mejor caracterización del sitio de la lesión en pacientes con trastornos cerebrales y de los patrones de activación en sujetos sanos. Objetivo En el presente artículo se discute la contribución del hemisferio izquierdo y la participación del hemisferio derecho en la regulación de la conducta motora; esto nos permitirá comprender mejor la lateralización de las funciones motoras. Desarrollo Los resultados apoyan la visión de un predominio del hemisferio izquierdo para el lenguaje y el control motor, y un predominio del hemisferio derecho para las funciones espaciales y la atención. Las áreas especializadas son probablemente predeterminadas y ciertas funciones están lateralizadas a uno u otro hemisferio, esto debido a la eficiente organización y procesamiento de la información en el cerebro. Conclusión En los estudios revisados, se observaron funciones específicas para cada hemisferio, lo que sugiere la existencia de una compleja organización que recluta a varias áreas del Sistema Nervioso para el adecuado desempeño de una tarea.
Introduction Our understanding of functional brain organization is due to advances in neuroimaging technologies and intensive clinical research. Recently, cognitive science (cognitive neuroscience), combined with advances in technology, have changed our understanding of brain-behavior relationship. This symbiotic relationship has allowed a better characterization of the lesion site in patients with brain disorders and patterns of activation in healthy subjects. Objective In this article we discuss the contribution of the left hemisphere and right hemisphere involvement in the regulation of motor behavior; this will allow us to better understand the lateralization of motor functions. Development The results support the view of a left hemisphere dominance for language and motor control, and a right hemisphere dominance for spatial functions and attention. Specialized areas are probably predetermined and certain functions are lateralized to one or other hemisphere due to the efficient organization and information processing in the brain. Conclusion In the studies reviewed, specific functions for each hemisphere were observed, suggesting the existence of a complex organization that recruits several areas of the Nervous System for proper task performance.
