“…A small body of research has been dedicated to understanding how the use or the stress generated by the use of technology is related to work-family conflict (Harris, Marett, & Harris, 2011;Harris et al, 2015;Kotecha, Ukpere, & Geldenhuys, 2014;Ma & Turel, 2019;Wang, Chen, & Duan, 2017) and well-being (Molino et al, 2020;Ninaus, Diehl, Terlutter, Chan, & Huang, 2015;Pfaffinger, Reif, & Spieß, 2020;Ragu-Nathan, Tarafdar, Ragu-Nathan, & Tu, 2008). Moreover, less is known about the relationship between these variables in the actual pandemic context (Anderson & Kellier, 2020).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought dramatic changes both for work and employees’ personal and family life domains. In this context, this research investigates the mediating role of the work-family conflict in the relationship between technostress creators (techno-overload and techno-invasion) and psychological well-being. We conducted a survey of 217 employees and the results indicated that the work-family conflict fully mediated the relationship between techno-overload and psychological well-being, thus strongly affecting the psychological well-being of employees in the context of exposure to the stress generated by ICTs overload. Similar results were identified regarding the mediating role of work-family conflict in the relationship between techno-invasion and psychological well-being. The findings suggest the need to increase the coping capacity of employees with technostress and their psychological well-being by reducing the work-family conflict and technostress.

“…This may be due to the importance of requests from telephone and electronic communications which correspond to a form of availability for work outside working hours. When the supervisor and colleagues continue to send emails during the holidays, they generate a feeling in the manager that the work has not stopped (Kotecha et al, 2014).…”

The question of the link between working time and non-working time remains a contemporary issue. The analysis of the experience and the perception of this articulation on a sample of 40 Tunisian managers made it possible to highlight, on the one hand, the determinants and the practices of articulation between working time and time out of work. On the other hand, to better understand the experience of the executives of the articulation of social times. Through the analysis of the interviews, we were able to identify three categories of executives adopting different strategies vis-à-vis the articulation of social times. A first group of managers is made up of managers who adopt a strategy of integrating working time with that of non-working time. For this group, social times intersect and collide without invading each other. The second group of managers adopts a partitioning strategy. They believe that the border between the working and non-working spheres must remain tight and that respecting the separation between the two spheres is fundamental. A third group of managers adopts an overflow strategy. Of course, the two spheres overlap one another, but this overflow can be both negative and positive.

“…This suggests that the reduction of WLC of employees and entrepreneurs can help to improve the performance and ultimately reduce the high failure rate of SMEs in South (Can't & Wiid, 2013). Some empirical studies have addressed WLC in South Africa (Downes & Koekemoer, 2011;Kotecha, Ukpere & Geldenhuys, 2014). An exhaustive review of the literature by the researcher shows that no study has investigated empirically the WLC of both native and immigrant entrepreneurs.…”

Work life conflict negatively impacts entrepreneurs and the economic performance of their businesses. The study explored the work-life conflict (WLC) of native and immigrant entrepreneurs in South Africa. Also, the study examined the effect of gender and work-related factors (long working hours and work overload) on the WLC of native and immigrant entrepreneurs. The study adopted the survey method (selfadministered questionnaires) for data collection. The participants in the study were identified through convenience and snowballing sampling methods. The methods of data analysis included descriptive statistics, T-test, Pearson correlation and regression analysis. The results showed high levels of WLC for both native and immigrant entrepreneurs. Native entrepreneurs have a higher level of WLC compared to immigrant entrepreneurs, however the difference is not statistically significant. Male entrepreneurs have a lower level of WLC compared to female entrepreneurs. Long working hours and work overload significantly impact on the WLC of native and immigrant entrepreneurs. Recommendations to reduce WLC include goal setting, scheduling and delegation of work by entrepreneurs.
