Considering the prevailing work from home (WFH) arrangement globally due to COVID-19, this paper aims to compare job-related and psychosocial factors before and during WFH setup; and to determine the relationship of these factors to work-life balance (WLB) and productivity.
A total 503 employees from 46 institutions answered the online questionnaire, 318 of whom met the inclusion criteria. Paired t test and structural equation modeling (SEM) with multigroup analysis were used for the statistical analyses.
Psychological detachment (PD), sleep, stress, social support (SS), WLB, and productivity declined during WFH. SEM showed that PD significantly influenced stress and sleep, subsequently affecting productivity. SS significantly helped the participants maintain WLB.
The key to increasing productivity and WLB during WFH is to foster PD and SS among employees.
鉴于 COVID-19 大流行导致目前全球普遍实行居家办公，本文旨在比较居家办公前后与工作相关的因素和社会心理因素；并确定这些因素与工作生活平衡（WLB）和生产力的关系。
共有来自 46 个机构的 503 名员工回答了在线问卷，其中 318 名符合纳入标准。采用配对 t 检验和结构方程模型（SEM）进行多组分析进行统计分析。
WFH 期间，心理解脱（PD）、睡眠、压力、社会支持（SS）、WLB 和生产力均下降。SEM 显示 PD 显著影响压力和睡眠，进而影响生产力。SS 显著帮助参与者维持 WLB。
在 WFH 期间提高生产力和 WLB 的关键是培养员工的 PD 和 SS。
