Work-related contact, work–family conflict, psychological distress and sleep problems experienced by construction professionals: an integrated explanatory model (2018, background): “For instance, the more one has to deal with family-related matters whilst at work, the greater the blurring between work and family roles, and vice versa (Desrochers et al. 2005, Matthews et al. 2010).”
Work-related smartphone use, work–family conflict and family role performance: The role of segmentation preference (2016, background): “When work is made conspicuous in the family domain by work-related email messages or phone calls it becomes difficult to set aside work to meet family demands (Desrochers et al., 2005).”
THE SPILLOVER OF DAILY JOB SATISFACTION ONTO EMPLOYEES' FAMILY LIVES: THE FACILITATING ROLE OF WORK-FAMILY INTEGRATION (2009, methodology): “The extent to which each participant in the study integrated work and family roles was measured using a slightly modified version of the three-item WorkFamily Role Integration-Blurring Scale (Desrochers et al., 2005).”
Work–family boundary management styles in organizations (2012, unknown): “While most studies focus on segmentation and integration as the predominant boundary management styles (e.g., Desrochers, Hilton, & Larwood, 2005; Matthews, Barnes-Farrell, & Bulger, 2010), we incorporate and examine the implications of a new style, ‘‘ alternating ,’’ originally identified by…”
Work–Family Boundary Dynamics (2014, background): “Other assessments capture reactions to cross-role interruptions (e.g., “When I work at home, distractions oftenmake it difficult to attend to mywork”; Desrochers et al. 2005).”
Work–Family Role Blurring and Work–Family Conflict (2012, unknown): “As the boundaries between these role domains become more fluid for many workers, work–family role blurring—the integration of behaviors and thoughts associated with work and family roles—has become an increasingly relevant work– family phenomenon (Desrochers, Hilton, & Larwood, 2005).”
Work–Family Conflict: The Importance of Family-Friendly Employment Practices and Family-Supportive Supervisors (2008, background): “However, a recent paper by Desrochers et al. (2005) offers a potential explanation.”
Is There a Downside to Schedule Control for the Work-Family Interface? (2010, methodology): “…flexibility are more likely to work at home, bring work home, and receive work-related contact at home—each is indicative of “operating in both domains at the same time” and predicts more frequent work–family multitasking activities (p. 492; also see Ahrentzen, 1990; Desrochers et al., 2005).”
Effort-reward imbalance, over-commitment and work-life conflict: testing an expanded model (2008, result): “In accordance with previous research findings (e.g. Desrochers et al., 2005), respondents with firmer boundaries between their work and home lives were more likely to have achieved a better work-life balance.”
Are Flexible Work Arrangements Associated with Lower Levels of Chronic Stress-Related Biomarkers? A Study of 6025 Employees in the UK Household Longitudinal Study (2019, background): “For example, flexible work arrangements may result in blurred boundaries between work and home roles (Ashforth et al., 2000; Desrochers et al., 2005), leading to increased work-to-family conflict.”
