El objetivo de este estudio fue comprender las tácticas que utilizan los expatriados para administrar la interfaz entre los dominios trabajo y hogar. Este estudio cualitativo se realizó mediante entrevistas en profundidad con 64 expatriados brasileños y las entrevistas se analizaron por contenido. El estudio mostró que los expatriados manejan los conflictos que pueden aparecer en las relaciones con los actores sociales de los dominios organizacional (por ejemplo, empleadores, clientes y proveedores) y del hogar (cónyuge, hijos y padres) utilizando tácticas de trabajo límite. El análisis reveló una lista de tácticas que permiten a los expatriados integrar o segmentar los dominios de trabajo y hogar. Los autores sostienen que este estudio proporciona sugerencias de cómo los expatriados pueden interactuar activamente con las personas de los dominios del trabajo y el hogar de tal manera que puedan construir y mantener mejores relaciones laborales y hogareñas durante ese período exigente. Además, el estudio sugiere que las compañías desarrollen políticas de trabajo en el hogar que tengan en cuenta las preferencias que tienen un expatriado y su familia para integrar o segmentar los dominios de trabajo y hogar.
