    Este estudio analiza la influencia del uso de las tecnologías de la comunicación para el trabajo en casa durante el tiempo fuera del trabajo en el conflicto trabajo-familia. Nuestro análisis se basa en la teoría de los límites entre trabajo y familia. Por otra parte, este estudio destaca los roles de desapego psicológico y apoyo familiar. Sobre la base de 423 participantes, utilizamos el análisis de regresión para probar nuestras hipótesis. Los resultados muestran que el uso de la tecnología de comunicación para trabajar en casa durante el tiempo fuera del trabajo se relaciona positivamente con el conflicto entre el trabajo y la familia, incluyendo los conflictos basados en el tiempo y la tensión. El apoyo de la familia modera el efecto del uso de las tecnologías de la comunicación para el trabajo en casa durante el tiempo fuera del trabajo en el conflicto laboral-familiar del empleado.

    Además, el desapego psicológico media el efecto moderador del apoyo familiar sobre la relación entre el uso de las tecnologías de la comunicación para el trabajo en casa durante el tiempo fuera del trabajo y el conflicto entre el trabajo y la familia

    This study analyzes the influence of communication technology use for work at home during off-job time on work–family conflict. Our analysis is based on work–family border theory. Moreover, this study highlights the roles of psychological detachment and family support. Based on 423 samples, we use regression analysis to test our hypotheses. Results show that communication technology use for work at home during off-job time is related to employee work–family conflict positively, including timebased and strain-based conflicts. Family support moderates the effect of communication technology use for work at home during off-job time on employee work–family conflict. Furthermore, psychological detachment mediates the moderating effect of family support on the relationship between communication technology use for work at home during off-job time and employee work–family conflict
