技术的进步，尤其是移动设备的广泛使用，改变了工作实践并改变了我们的日常生活。但是，除了促进将工作和个人生活结合起来的新方法外，这些新技术还可以模糊两个领域之间的边界。近年来，平板电脑已经流行，首先是休闲设备，最近作为业务工具，可以帮助人们随时随地与工作保持联系。通过一项定性研究支持的在线问卷，我们调查了办公室工作人员使用平板电脑的原因，如何和位置以及这些设备对工作与生活平衡的影响。结果表明，尽管对家庭和工作任务都有用，但平板电脑有可能通过鼓励和使人们在家庭时间完成工作任务，反之亦然，从而模糊工作和个人生活之间的边界。这可能会对工作与生活的平衡产生负面影响。
Advances in technology, in particular the widespread use of mobile devices, have changed work practices and transformed our everyday lives. However, as well as facilitating new ways for combining work and personal life, these new technologies can also blur the boundary between the two domains. In recent years tablets have become popular, first as leisure devices, and lately as business tools helping people to stay connected with work anywhere, anytime. Through an online questionnaire supported by a qualitative study, we investigated why, how, and where office workers use tablets and what impact those devices may have on work-life balance. The results show that, while useful for both home and work tasks, tablets have the potential to blur the boundary between work and personal life by encouraging and enabling people to complete work tasks during home time and vice versa. This could have negative impacts on work-life balance.
