* The question was phrased by the source as follows: "[I never check for messages/emails back at my work when I go on vacation] Please indicate if you agree strongly, agree somewhat, disagree somewhat or disagree strongly with the following". Results show the total that agreed to some extent.
** Approximately 1,000 respondents per country, except Belgium, Hungary, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Sweden and Turkey, where the sample was approximately 500+. Samples were nationally representative, except Russia, Serbia and Turkey, which produced a national sample described as more urban and educated, and with higher incomes than their fellow citizens. The source refers to these respondents as "Upper Deck Consumer Citizens", that are not nationally representative of their country.
