Abstract
Agile working involves liberation from traditional ways of working, such that boundaries between work and home (both physical and temporal) can become blurred. In this chapter, we explore how boundary management preferences for integration or segmentation, and the fit between these preferences and agile working modalities, can influence experiences of the work-life interface, work-related attitudes and employee well-being. We go on to identify the challenges that agile working presents for boundary management, related to an increasingly ‘always on’ work culture. We conclude by discussing what organizations can do to support employees’ management of work-life boundaries in the pursuit of satisfactory levels of performance and wellbeing in each life domain.
