Chapter Chapter 1 in Navigating Work and Life Boundaries, 2021, pp 1-24 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Over the last few decades, activities that are formally recognized as “work” have increasingly become important to the sustenance of individuals to an extent that they are seen as encroaching upon other essential aspects of their existence. Much of this encroachment has been due to work being viewed as a virtue in and of itself, the constant introduction of new technologies that have resulted in a blurring of work and life boundariesBoundaries, and a general trend in which employees are increasingly having to take on a broader set of responsibilitiesResponsibility(ies) (Poelmans, S., Odle-Dusseau, H., & Beham, B.
