Yes, it is a social problem (as I am aware of) mostly. The basic ideas 
are:

a) you cannot separate private from work mail address or better to say: 
your work address gets misused for private things or some private notion 
sneaked into a work relationship, therefore you must monitor the work mail 
account at weekend. They are pushed to your smartphone anyway. Then, you 
see all these very important messages from the boss or from an employee 
asking about whatever. If you are tempted to answer, you loose the "relax" 
portion of the weekend.

b) you don't want to give your colleques or employees the pressure, they 
have to work at the weekend, just because you write them at the weekend 
or some late hour at Friday.

Replace "weekend" with vacation or holiday or illness or whatsever. I mean 
the non-personal "you".
