Abstract
ABSTRACT There has been an increase in information communication technology (ICT) and work-life balance studies in the last decade. Technology has mixed impacts on work-life balance, both positive and negative. The positive side of information technology for studying work-life balance is its ability to manage domain boundaries flexibly and simultaneously. It is possible to integrate roles to meet demand between domains quickly without space and time constraints, which leads to work-life balance. The negative side is that the connectivity and constant availability cause high intrusion between domains (work-life). The consequence is an imbalance or paradox between domains. The study employs the meta-narrative reviews method and offers a new variable, ‘Ugahari’, a local value from Nusantara culture, characterised by a moderate working and living attitude. Based on our review, Ugahari can be a boundary control that minimises the negative impact of information technology and improves work-life balance. Thus, this study offers a conceptual framework related to the interaction of these two variables on the concept of work-life balance in terms of dimensions, typology, and consequences.
