ABSTRACT = {Work-related use of ICT (W_ICT) at home has been found to relate to 
important employee outcomes in their work and family lives. However, little is 
known about how individuals can actively apply strategies or tactics to utilize the 
advantages or reduce the disadvantages of W_ICT. In the current study, based on 
boundary theory, we examined the interaction effect of segmentation preference 
and boundary control in creating the boundary around W_ICT and its subsequent 
positive effect on individuals’ psychological detachment. Results based on a 
sample of 560 Chinese full-time employees showed that only for individuals 
with higher boundary control, segmentation preference positively promotes 
boundary creation around W_ICT that subsequently positively predict
psychological detachment. These findings provide a deeper understanding of 
how individuals with high segmentation preference can achieve psychological 
detachment through actively creating boundaries around W_ICT use at home.},
