Boundary management refers to the ways that individuals create, maintain, and manage demarcations between work and personal life. Research regarding boundary management provides multi-disciplinary value across the organizational sciences, including work-family and work-nonwork research, but is hindered by terminological confusion and construct proliferation. We present a systematic review of work-nonwork boundary management scales (N = 91 scales), and we organize the scales into a measurement taxonomy that aligns scale items with conceptual definitions of boundary management constructs. We found evidence of misalignment between conceptualizations and operationalizations of the identified scales, and we also find little evidence for convergent and discriminant validity among scales. Findings suggest a need to strengthen the construct validity of relevant boundary management scales, which can be guided by the proposed measurement taxonomy.

边界管理是指个人创建、维护和管理工作和个人生活之间界限的方式。关于边界管理的研究提供了跨组织科学的多学科价值，包括工作-家庭和工作-非工作研究，但受到术语混乱和结构扩散的阻碍。我们对工作-非工作边界管理量表（N= 91 个量表），我们将这些量表组织成一个测量分类法，使量表项目与边界管理结构的概念定义保持一致。我们发现了已识别量表的概念化和操作化之间不一致的证据，而且我们也几乎没有发现量表之间的收敛和区分有效性的证据。研究结果表明，需要加强相关边界管理量表的结构有效性，这可以由所提出的测量分类法指导。
