The increase of women s labor force participation, the diversity of family constellations, many men s increased participation in childcare, and the development of flexible working arrangements have stimulated research on the relationship between work and non-work.

The increase of women s labor force participation,
the diversity of family constellations, many men s
increased participation in childcare, and the
development of flexible working arrangements have
stimulated research on the relationship between work
and non-work. In this thesis, the interaction
between work and non-work is examined in the case of
home-based telework, an example of flexible working
arrangement. Because of the disappearance or
blurring of the traditional boundaries in time and
space, the consequences of these working conditions
for individuals need to be analyzed. The overall aim
of this thesis was to study the interaction between
work and non-work in home-based telework and to
analyze the following issues:
- conflict versus facilitation as related
to the segmentation and integration of
work/non-work domains
- the nature and role of boundaries
- the physical and mental aspects of work
activities within the domains
The results show the importance of boundaries, as
they are needed in order to bring structure and
legitimacy to the work (carried out in the
home/private domain) and to detach from work.
