“…Previous findings showed that WFC of strain-based leads to the wife's psychological health problems [33]- [35]. On the contrary, for our male sample, the study revealed that WFC of time and behavior-based leads to the wife's depressive symptoms via the wife's FWC.…”

The study aimed to examine the effect of work-family conflict (WFC) and family-work conflict (FWC) on the level of depressive symptoms among working husbands and wives. First, the study proposed that wife’s WFC influences the husband’s level of depressive symptoms via the mediation of the husband’s FWC. Second, the study predicted that the husband’s WFC leads to the wife’s level of depressive symptoms through the mediation of the wife’s FWC. The study utilized a cross-sectional design that involved 330 teachers and their spouses (N=660) as a study sample. The results show wife’s WFC of strain-based leads to the husband’s depressive symptoms via the husband’s FWC of strain-based. WFC behavior-based of the husband influences the degree of the wife’s depression symptoms via the wife’s behavior-based FWC, whereas WFC time-based of the husband causes the wife to experience depressive symptoms through the wife's FWC. The current findings provide crucial knowledge to the literature as they discover the specific aspects of WFC and FWC that affect individuals’ psychological health.

“…This reduction of family–work conflict could in turn be beneficially related to employees’ appraisal (Bakker et al, 2004). Importantly, these beneficial effects of exercise regarding family–work conflict might only occur for strain-based types of family conflict because exercising needs time that can hence not be invested in the family role (Wei et al, 2023). In future studies, this idea could be investigated in more detail by assessing employees’ family demands and their perceived family–work conflict.…”

Previous research has typically conceptualized physical activity as a recovery activity after work that promotes well-being by allowing employees to detach from work and replenish their resources. Here, we aimed to go beyond this framework by proposing a new theoretical model of how physical activity in the morning before work affects employee well-being. Drawing upon the transactional theory of stress, we theorized that physical activity before work shapes employees’ appraisal of their upcoming workday which, in turn, affects their well-being. In a preregistered study (N = 269), we utilized a within-person daily experience sampling approach to test our model. Results showed that two types of appraisals are particularly important for explaining the effects of physical activity before work on employee well-being: First, challenge appraisal mediated the effects of physical activity before work on work engagement. Second, we found an indirect effect via threat appraisal of physical activity before work on job-related anxiety. Exploratorily, we found that threat appraisal also mediated the effect of physical activity before work on emotional exhaustion. In conclusion, our results show that physical activity before work is beneficially related to several types of well-being outcomes by increasing challenge appraisal and decreasing threat appraisal. Furthermore, our study advances theoretical understanding on physical activity and work stress by shedding light on the mechanisms underlying the effect of physical activity on employee well-being and showing that physical activity before work benefits well-being by shaping how employees appraise their work situation on a day-to-day basis.

“…FWC is significantly and negatively related to remote work satisfaction of employees in private and public organization during COVID-19 (Toscano et al, 2022). Time-based and strain-based WFC impact job satisfaction through employee vitality (Wei et al, 2022). Strain-based WIF impacts job satisfaction through exercise and vitality in work-from-home employees of state-owned organizations in five industries in China (Wei et al, 2022).…”

Teleworking from home gives workers some degree of temporal and spatial flexibility, and at the same time, poses some consequences in terms of conflicts from the demands, requirements, expectations, and behaviors from the forces associated with both work roles and family roles. This integrative literature review investigated the conditions or forces that are responsible for the bi-directional inter-role conflict and the outcomes of the conflict when employees are teleworking from home, by synthesizing new and grey literature about work-family conflict and home-based teleworking. The forces from the work and family systems which are organizational, personal, spatial, temporal, technological, psychological, and familial are the crux of the work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict as they either cause friction or smoothness to the transition from work roles to family roles and vice versa during home-based teleworking. The forces either act as catalysts or inhibitors during the transition from work (family) roles to family (work) roles. The findings from this review were synthesized into the work-family roles dynamics model by incorporating concepts from physical sciences. The work-family roles dynamics model provides insights into the transition of home-based teleworkers and the work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict that ensue in the work and family systems. This article also offers a definition of work-family conflict based on knowledge from the synthesized literature. The work-family roles dynamics model posits new explanations about teleworking from home and bi-directional inter-role conflict. The work-family roles dynamics theory yields new ideas and questions for future research and implications for human resource management.
