Role identity salience and boundary permeability preferences: An examination of enactment and protection effects

We examined two boundary management phenomena—the preferred enactment of a highly salient role across different domains through increased boundary permeability, which we call the enactment effect, and the preferred protection of a highly salient role from extra-role intrusions through decreased boundary permeability, which we call the protection effect. This study examined how role identity salience relates to boundary permeability preferences...
