Drawing on the resource (drain) perspective in work-family spillover theory and conservation of resources theory, the current paper studies the daily consequences of working from home for employees' work-home interface and well-being. We build an intraindividual model that investigates how working from home influences experiences of time pressure, work-family conflict, and work-related employee well-being on a daily basis. A total of 34 professional workers participated in our study and were asked to respond to 10 daily surveys in the morning, afternoon and evening, across two consecutive workweeks. In line with our hypotheses, results indicated that on days when employees worked from home, they experienced less time pressure and, in turn, they reported lower levels of work-family conflict on that particular day. Moreover, we found that experiences of work-family conflict predicted individuals' next morning engagement and exhaustion levels and affective states towards the organization they work for. We recommend organizations to encourage a work-from-home protocol aimed at protecting employee well-being.
本研究借鉴工作家庭溢出理论和资源保存理论中的资源（消耗）观点，探讨了员工居家办公对其工作家庭界面和幸福感的日常影响。我们构建了一个个体内模型，用以考察居家办公如何对员工的日常时间压力、工作家庭冲突和与工作相关的幸福感产生影响。共有 34 名专业员工参与了我们的研究，要求他们在连续两周的两个工作日内，每天上午、下午和晚上分别进行 10 次日常调查。与我们的假设一致，结果表明，在员工居家办公的日子里，他们的时间压力较小，相应地，他们在当天报告的工作家庭冲突水平也较低。此外，我们发现工作家庭冲突的体验预测了个体第二天早上的投入和疲惫程度以及对其工作组织的情感状态。我们建议组织鼓励制定居家办公协议，以保护员工的幸福感。
