“…Daily occurrences of role conflation elicit diverse perceptions of flexibility vs. rigidity among individuals. Some knowledge workers appreciate and leverage the gained ability to flexibly transition between roles (e.g., 'work' and 'family') (Becker & Lanzl, 2023). Others react with frustration and strain to this change because it makes exiting a role (e.g., 'work') more difficult.…”

“…This means that the changes to the nature of work in the context of digital transformation alter the ability, frequency, and extent to which individuals perform role transitioning, that is, entering and exiting roles over time. While this development can augment worker autonomy (Wang et al, 2020), it also requires individuals to increase their efforts in self-managing the boundaries of work and other life domains (Becker & Lanzl, 2023).…”

The transitions individuals make between roles are critical for navigating professional and private life domains. These role transitions involve physical and psychological movements between positions and statuses in social structures. Today, digital technologies are becoming increasingly pivotal in these transitions. However, neither existing theory on role transitions nor recent contributions to the digital transformation literature have unpacked the connection between digital technologies and role transitioning. Based on a qualitative inquiry involving knowledge workers from the Global South, we develop the concepts of role emancipation, role confinement, and role conflation and examine how these types of role transitioning relate to the capabilities of digital technologies. We find that digital technologies can introduce levels of rigidity or flexibility that, in turn, either solidify or soften the domain boundaries influencing work‐life role transitions in the context of digital transformation. We abstract these ideas into a theoretical model and chart a course for consolidating a ‘micro‐level of analysis frontier’ within digital transformation research.

Purpose Drawing on conservation of resources theory, this study aims to develop and test a model of moderated mediation in the relationship between job autonomy and employee life satisfaction, focusing on the mediating role of work–family enrichment (WFE) and the moderating role of segmentation preference. Design/methodology/approach Using a time-lagged research design, data were collected from 314 employees representing various organisations in Vietnam. The PROCESS macro in SPSS 20.0 was used to analyse the relationships. Findings The results indicate a positive relationship between job autonomy and employees’ life satisfaction, mediated by WFE. Additionally, the indirect effect of job autonomy on life satisfaction via WFE was weaker when employees preferred high work–family segmentation. Practical implications The study suggests that organisations can enhance employee life satisfaction by increasing job autonomy and promoting WFE. Organisations can establish a more supportive and engaging work environment that promotes well-being by tailoring these interventions to suit employees’ segmentation preferences. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature by shedding light on how organisational factors influence employee life satisfaction. It provides the first empirical evidence of a relationship between job autonomy and life satisfaction. It also explores the potential mediation effect of WFE and the moderating effect of segmentation preference.
