与此同时，研究人员对理解越来越感兴趣。围绕工作和个人生活领域的界限，很少有人检验过理论提出的命题。边界理论提出，个人通过分割和/或整合领域的过程来管理工作和个人生活之间的边界。作者在分段整合连续体调查中调查了 332 名员工的边界管理概况。聚类分析表明，与工作和个人生活领域的不同细分和整合相关的边界管理实践具有一致的集群。但是，作者认为分割整合连续体可能更复杂。结果还表明边界管理实践与工作与个人生活的干扰以及工作与个人生活的改善之间的关系。不太灵活和更具渗透性的边界与更多的干扰相关，而更灵活和更渗透性的边界则与更多的增强相关。
While researchers are increasingly interested in understanding. the boundaries surrounding the work and personal life domains, few have tested the propositions set forth by theory. Boundary theory proposes that individuals manage the boundaries between work and personal life through processes of segmenting and/or integrating the domains. The authors investigated boundary management profiles of 332 workers in an investigation of the segmentation-integration continuum. Cluster analysis indicated consistent clusters of boundary management practices related to varying segmentation and integration of the work and personal life domains. But, the authors suggest that the segmentation-integration continuum may be more complicated. Results also indicated relationships between boundary management practices and work-personal life interference and work-personal life enhancement. Less flexible and more permeable boundaries were related to more interference, while more flexible and more permeable boundaries were related to more enhancement.
