LinkedIn surveyed 6,427 U.S. workers between June 15 and July 26. Of the respondents, 51% planned to take time off this summer, according to the findings outlined in an Aug. 15 newsletter.
Fifty-nine percent said they check in with work by answering emails or phone calls during their time off, and 35% said they feel guilty when taking time off.
Older employees were more likely to work on vacation — 61% of baby boomers, the survey found — but feel less guilty when missing work.
Among respondents, Generation Z was the least likely to work over vacation, at 44%, compared to 59% across all ages. However, the group also felt more guilt than others.
One reason Gen Z and millennials might feel guilty about missing work is that they are more likely to prioritize career advancement, LinkedIn News wrote. In contrast, baby boomers may feel they deserve their time off as they are later in their careers.
Additionally, women are more likely to unplug from work on vacation, but are more likely to feel guilty, the survey found.
