The relationship of social support with well-being outcomes via work–family conflict: Moderating effects of gender, dependants and nationality (2017, background): “Numerous investigators (e.g. O’Driscoll and Brough, 2010; Olson-Buchanan and Boswell, 2006) have referred to an increased blurring of boundaries between work and non-work (typically family) domains.”
Work-related smartphone use, work–family conflict and family role performance: The role of segmentation preference (2016, background): “Receiving work-related text messages requires a quick switch from the family role to the work role and vice versa and can challenge the individual’s non-work performance in the family domain (Ashforth et al., 2000; Olson-Buchanan and Boswell, 2006).”
The Use of Communication Technologies After Hours: The Role of Work Attitudes and Work-Life Conflict (2007, background): “…an important role for job involvement and work centrality in fostering more discretionary types of work behaviors (e.g., Diefendorff, Brown, Kamin, & Lord, 2002), integration of work and nonwork roles (e.g., Olson-Buchanan & Boswell, 2006), and long work hours (e.g., Major, Klein, & Ehrhart, 2002).”
How Effective Is Telecommuting? Assessing the Status of Our Scientific Findings (2015, background): “Moreover, the availability of technological tools that permit individuals to remain connected to work (e.g., via e-mail) at all times blurs the temporal work-home boundary (Olson-Buchanan & Boswell, 2006).”
Toward Understanding Remote Workers’ Management of Work–Family Boundaries: The Complexity of Workplace Embeddedness (2017, background): “Integration may ameliorate work–family conflict because flexible and permeable boundaries allow individuals to easily transition between roles (Olson-Buchanan & Boswell, 2006).”
Smartphone use and work-home interference: The moderating role of social norms and employee work engagement (2015, background): “Furthermore, there is evidence that role integration is related to conflict between roles, especially in the case of work–non-work permeability (e.g., Duxbury et al., 1996; Kossek et al., 2005; Olson-Buchanan & Boswell, 2006).”
