“…This is because, in the context of the hospitality industry, supervisors play a critical role in shaping subordinates' perceptions of the workplace [100]. On the other hand, due to the intense working hours of the hospitality industry, employees cannot spare enough time for their family and friends [101]. Despite this, this study proved the moderating effect of family support.…”

Building on the social support theory and the job demands-resources (JD-R) model, the current research explores the role of coworker task support on the perceived uncertainty, job stress, and emotional exhaustion of hospitality employees affected by the COVID-19 crisis. Moreover, this research investigates the moderating impact of supervisor support and family support on the relationship between perceived uncertainty and emotional exhaustion. The data were collected from 353 hospitality employees currently working in the hospitality industry in Pakistan. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed using SmartPLS 3.3.3 software to examine the proposed hypotheses and to analyze the research model. The results point out that coworker task support has no significant relationship with emotional exhaustion. Furthermore, perceived uncertainty and job stress fully mediated the association between coworker task support and emotional exhaustion. Additionally, supervisor support and family support significantly moderated the association between perceived uncertainty and emotional exhaustion. This research contributes to the literature by expanding our knowledge of the role of social support in alleviating the perceived uncertainty, job stress, and emotional exhaustion of hospitality employees during the COVID-19 crisis. The theoretical and practical implications of the study are further discussed.

“…This scale was selected among the many existing work-life balance scales because of its brevity of administration (e.g., the 14 items of the Work Interference with Personal Life (WIPL) Scale [ 37 ] or the 11 items of the Women’s Work-Life Balance Scale [ 38 ]); the number of times it has been cited (318 citations on Google Scholar in November 2022), which indicates a wide adoption of this scale by the scientific community; and how the items were formulated, which was done it a way that was particularly suitable for the adaptation that the authors had in mind. The original items were restructured replacing the wording “work and non-work” and “working and non-working” with “online and offline”.…”

The use of new technologies and information communication technology services (ICTs) has greatly increased, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in an irrevocable change in people’s work-life balance (WLB). Despite the thriving literature on the dysfunctional use of new technologies, a functional use of ICTs also seems to be possible. Inspired by the theory of psychology of harmony and referring to behavioral addiction models and substance use models, we defined the construct of digital life balance to indicate a harmonic balance between digital life and real life. In this context, the imbalance between online and offline life may reflect a dysfunctional use of ICTs and can be seen as a process of disharmonization. With this perspective in mind, the aim of this study was to develop a dedicated measuring instrument that could capture both people’s balanced and unbalanced use of ICTs. Through two cross-sectional studies (Study 1= 1473 participants; Study 2 = 953 participants), we validated the scale internally and externally. In line with the literature, Digital Life Balance scores appeared to be negatively associated with addiction measures and positively associated with well-being measures. In conclusion, the Digital Life Balance (DLB) Scale appears to be a reliable (ω = 0.89) and valid instrument to investigate people’s harmonic and disharmonic use of ICTs.

“…Therefore, to achieve a stable WLB, it is necessary to manage time to work by paying attention to work priorities, reducing distractions, taking appropriate actions, adequate rest, and speedy recovery (Jennifer, 2020;Maulana, 2017). Liu et al (2021) discovered that female hotel employees depended on the work position to spend more time with their families. Gamor et al (2017) looked at the impact of family-related factors on work-family conflict (WFC) among Ghanaian hospitality workers.…”

Employers in the food and beverage (F&B) industry require many high-skilled and well-trained professionals but workers are often exploited in the industry. Aiming to answer if personal health, personal time management, and family matters affect the work-life balance (WLB) of F&B employees, which family matters played a mediator role. The data of 108 responses was analysed through the PROCESS analysis and Sobel's Test. The regression analysis shows that family matters are a mediator of the relationship between personal health and personal time management and WLB indicating that the variable is vital in ensuring a healthy WLB among F&B’s employees.
