Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between personality , work-home boundary permeability , and the percentage of electronic life intrusions answered (ELT Percent). Results indicated that openness to experience , extraversion , agreeableness , and neuroticism were positively correlated with boundary permeability; however , only extraversion was significant. Agreeableness was also found to be positively correlated with ELT Percent; this relationship was found to be significant. Finally , boundary permeability was found to have a significant positive relationship with ELT Percent. Hierarchical (sequential) linear regression was used to create a model with demographic variables (age , sex , industry , and job tenure) , personality factors , and boundary permeability accounting for 19.5% of the variance in the ELT Percent. The theoretical implications of the results , as well as limitations and future directions , are discussed.
