作者：

Highlights：

• We focus on the question of whether using the internet at work has positive aspects.

• Employees with many nonwork demands used the internet more often for private reasons.

• Personal internet use was not correlated with work–nonwork balance.

• The guiding work/family border theory was only partially supported.
