Work/Family Border Theory: A New Theory of Work/Family Balance
Sue Campbell Clark
University of Idaho, sueclark{at}uidaho.edu
This article introduces work/family border theory - a new theory about work/family balance. According to the theory, people are daily border-crossers between the domains of work and family. The theory addresses how domain integration and segmentation, border creation and management, border-crosser participation, and relationships between border-crossers and others at work and home influence work/family balance. Propositions are given to guide future research.
Key Words: border-crossing culture family work
