Abstract:

Previous studies on border theories exclusively focus on activities in the work and home/family domains without a clear cut explanation of the factors that determine employees’ movements across the border. The chapter draws on a critical review of the literature and contemporary research to present a work-life border control model to further enhance our understanding of employees’ movement across the border. The model describes employees as border crossers whose journey from the work domain to non-work domain is enhanced or hindered by organisational culture, management support, supervisor support, co-worker’s support, employees’ willingness to cross the border, and organisational time expectations. The model also recognises employee’s other non-work (aside from home/family) activities. This model provides a comprehensive and coherent theoretical framework within which employees’ movements from work to non-work domains (border flexibility and permeability) can be studied.
