Abstract:
Difficulty in balancing the demands of work and nonwork has been shown to be associated with lower physical and psychological health. Grounded on the self-regulation theory, we examined the effect of work-nonwork conflict on general health among employees who transitioned to remote work (remote workers), and we tested whether this association was mediated by impaired self-control capacity. The study further examined the perceived boundary control as a moderator of these associations. We collected two waves of questionnaire data with a one-month interval from 461 remote workers, and the results of regression-based analyses revealed that work-nonwork conflict was negatively related to remote workers\' general health through increased self-control capacity impairment. In addition, this indirect effect was weaker for remote workers with higher perceived boundary control than those with lower perceived boundary control. These findings expand our understanding of remote workers\' work-nonwork conflict and have practical implications for promoting the general health of remote workers who are experiencing work-nonwork conflict.
摘要:
事实证明,难以平衡工作和非工作的需求与较低的身心健康有关。以自我调节理论为基础,我们检查了工作与非工作冲突对过渡到远程工作的员工(远程员工)的整体健康的影响,我们测试了这种关联是否由自我控制能力受损介导.该研究进一步检查了感知的边界控制作为这些关联的调节者。我们从461名远程工作人员中收集了两波为期一个月的问卷调查数据,基于回归分析的结果显示,工作-非工作冲突通过自我控制能力损害的增加与远程工作者的一般健康状况呈负相关。此外,对于具有较高感知边界控制的远程工作人员,这种间接影响比具有较低感知边界控制的远程工作人员更弱。这些发现扩大了我们对远程工作者工作-非工作冲突的理解,并对促进经历工作-非工作冲突的远程工作者的总体健康具有实际意义。
