This proposal seeks support for the analysis of previously collected quantitative and qualitative data on how people use communications technologies to construct their availability and manage the boundaries between work and everyday life. The project is risky and exploratory because the relationship between technology use and the construction of personal boundaries has never been examined. The project promises to yield important insights into how new technologies affect the ecology of everyday life. In particular, the study could significantly influence the literature on work and family by drawing attention to the role technologies play in the social construction of boundaries. It could also have important societal impacts in helping employers and employees to better understand how new technologies could enhance the quality of everyday life.

该提案寻求对先前收集的定量和定性数据分析的支持，这些数据涉及人们如何使用通信技术来构建可用性并管理工作与日常生活之间的界限。 该项目具有风险性和探索性，因为技术使用与个人边界构建之间的关系从未被检验过。该项目有望对新技术如何影响日常生活生态产生重要见解。 特别是，该研究可以通过引起人们对技术在社会边界构建中所发挥的作用的关注，对有关工作和家庭的文献产生重大影响。 它还可能产生重要的社会影响，帮助雇主和雇员更好地了解新技术如何提高日常生活质量。
