摘要
Work-related use of information and communication technologies (W_ICTs) after hours has been found to have positive effects on employees' work-related outcomes. The present study investigated the relationship between W_ICTs after hours and employees' focus on opportunities, and examined the moderating effect of work-family centrality on this relationship. We collected questionnaire data from 299 Chinese employees. The results showed that W_ICTs after hours positively predicted employees' focus on opportunities. Further, the positive relationship was moderated by work-family centrality such that the effect was stronger for employees with high work-family centrality. These findings contribute to a further understanding of positive effects of W_ICTs after hours on employees, and uncover important boundary conditions under which this practice might affect employees differentially.
