"Smartphones" have become a necessity in society. Although mobile devices have many benefits, there are also some negative effects on the contrary. This study investigates the impacts of compulsive use, problematic and dependent on "smartphones". In addition, the relationship between compulsory use of "smartphones" and "burnout", such as recovery experiences as a moderating potential of this relationship is analyzed. For this purpose, a sample of 141 working individuals, aged between 20 and 63 years (M @ 30; SD = 10.4) was collected, 46.1% male and 53.9% female, with respondents to a questionnaire participated in this study. The results obtained confirmed that the use of "smartphones" in a compulsive, problematic and dependent way have a significant and amplifying effect on "burnout", with abusive users of the "smartphone" reporting more symptoms of "burnout". Moreover, it has been found that abusive use of smartphones may limit and inhibit the process of retrieving the job requirements. However, recovery experiences as a moderator of the relationship between compulsive, problematic and dependent on "smartphone" use and "burnout" have not been corroborated. These conclusions contribute to a better understanding of the impact of the "smartphone" on the well-being of the workers.
