| Summary: | A methodological review was performed on work-life boundary-related
studies published from the year 2010 to 2018. This review systematically
selected 59 journal articles on the work boundary phenomenon. The selection
criteria for this review closely followed three previous systematic
methodological reviews performed on work-life research. Where possible,
comparisons were made to integrate the findings of the current study
with these previous systematic reviews. Articles were reviewed based on
methodological choices such as research design, sampling strategy, data
collection, data analysis, reliability, and validity measures. Findings of the
review revealed that researchers had utilised a variety of methodological
stances to conduct their studies. The majority of the studies in the field followed
a quantitative approach, and most studies relating to work boundary
management were field studies with a cross-sectional design. Qualitative
studies in the area were primarily based on grounded theory. Significant
methodological gaps were identified that could be bridged by future studies.
Further, notable suggestions were proposed relating to reliability and
validity measures taken by the researchers. |
