Home-based remote work becomes increasingly popular. The facets of remote work, especially working from home, are multifaceted and can become stressors that affect a person’s health. At the same time, self-efficacy is an important personal resource to deal with health-related stressors. The objective of this study is therefore to explore the relationship between self-efficacy (SE), work-related stress (WRS), health outcomes (health and anxiety), contributing factors (autonomy and experience) and work-family conflict (WFC) in a remote work setting. Using a PLS-model (partial least square) with a sample of n = 5163 responses, we found that SE significantly reduces WRS (β = −0.164; p < 0.001). Moreover, WFC increases WRS and anxiety, while SE reduces WFC and mediates health outcomes (anxiety: β = −0.065; p < 0.001; health: β = −0.048; p < 0.001). At the same time, autonomy (β = 0.260; p < 0.001) and experience (β = 0.215; p < 0.001) increase SE. Our results have high practical implications for employers and employees, underlining the importance of self-efficacy as a personal resource to buffer WRS and WFC while promoting overall health at the same time.
居家远程办公变得越来越流行。远程办公的各个方面，尤其是居家办公，具有多面性，可能成为影响个人健康的压力源。与此同时，自我效能感是应对与健康相关的压力源的重要个人资源。因此，本研究的目的是探讨在远程工作环境中，自我效能感（SE）、工作相关压力（WRS）、健康结果（健康和焦虑）、影响因素（自主性和经验）和工作家庭冲突（WFC）之间的关系。我们使用了 PLS 模型（偏最小二乘法），样本量为 n = 5163 个回复，发现 SE 显著降低了 WRS（β = -0.164；p < 0.001）。此外，WFC 增加了 WRS 和焦虑，而 SE 降低了 WFC 并调节了健康结果（焦虑：β = -0.065；p < 0.001；健康：β = -0.048；p < 0.001）。同时，自主性（β = 0.260；p < 0.001）和经验（β = 0.215；p < 0.001）增加了 SE。我们的研究结果对雇主和员工具有重要的实际意义，强调了自我效能感作为个人资源的重要性，它可以缓冲 WRS 和 WFC，同时促进整体健康。
