Expanding the boundaries of boundary theory: Regulative institutions and work–family role management
指出当前边界理论过于关注个人层面，忽视了更高层的社会制度，进而探讨国际规制性制度在工作与家庭角色管理中的作用及其缺失对员工、组织和匹配度的影响。
With the changing demographics of the labor force, management of work and family role boundaries has become an important area of research. However, the literature surrounding boundary theory – one of the most prevalent theories of work–family role management – has evolved too narrowly. Although early boundary theory development acknowledged the importance of higher level social institutions, they have been largely omitted from the current research, which is predominantly individual-focused. The present article further develops the role of international regulative institutions in managing work and family role boundaries, including the consequences of their omission in the current literature for individual employees, organizations and the fit between them.
