在家里沟通工作问题和在工作中沟通家庭问题，也被称为跨境（ATB）沟通，是日常工作和家庭互动的一部分。本研究的重点是ATB通信的概念，使用工作/家庭边界理论，根据该理论，工作和私人生活之间的边界被视为通过社会互动和实践协商和塑造。我们认为，通过ATB沟通，特别是通过关注什么是共享和如何共享，员工可以管理边界，实现工作与生活的平衡。共32名受访者，包括记者（N = 16）和他们的关系其他人（N = 16），调查ATB沟通在员工的工作-生活边界管理的作用。研究结果表明，ATB通信需要讨论的责任，在不同的生活领域和寻求支持，要求或复杂的工作或私人生活的情况。边界管理的一个特点是避免ATB通信，以实现工作和生活之间的平衡。这项研究扩展了现有的知识边界管理作为一个沟通的过程，并提供了重要的实际意义，突出的作用，人际关系的边界管理实践和质量的ATB通信在这些关系。
ABSTRACT Communicating work issues at home and home issues at work, also known as across-the-border (ATB) communication, is a part of everyday work and family interaction. This study focuses on the concept of ATB communication, using Work/Family Border Theory, according to which the boundaries between work and private life are seen as negotiated and shaped through social interactions and practices. We argue that through ATB communication, and especially by focusing on what is shared and how, employees can manage boundaries and achieve work-life balance. Altogether, 32 informants, comprising journalists (N = 16) and their relational others (N = 16), were interviewed to investigate the role of ATB communication in employees’ work-life boundary management. The findings show that ATB communication entails discussions about responsibilities in different life domains and a search for support in demanding or complex work or private life situations. One feature of boundary management involves refraining from ATB communication in order to achieve a balance between work and life. The study extends existing knowledge of boundary management as a communicative process and offers important practical implications by highlighting the role of interpersonal relationships in boundary management practices and the quality of ATB communication in these relationships.
