Telepraca a życie rodzinne - o sztuce wyznaczania granic
Telework vs. family life – the art of setting boundaries

Summary/Abstract: This article is based on partial results of ongoing in-depth ethnographic research. This research studies households in which at least one person telecommutes. In this article, we point to the impact of telework on private space and on the development of practices of everyday life. We present the consequences of a “return” of work to the home for both telecommuters and other members of their households. We describe the process of creating and maintaining boundaries between the private sphere and the sphere of work. In the opinion of both researchers and teleworkers, borders are es-sential to maintaining a balance between private and professional life for those working from home.
