We examined the disruptive influence of COVID-19 pandemic rates in the community on telecommuters' satisfaction with balancing their work and family roles and consequently their well-being. Utilizing event system theory and adaptation theory, we proposed that the rate of increase in proportion of confirmed COVID-19 cases in telecommuters' residential communities would predict a lower rate of increase in their satisfaction with work-family balance over time, thereby indirectly influencing two key aspects of well-being-emotional exhaustion and life satisfaction. Results from latent growth curve modeling using objective community data, as well as survey responses from a three-wave ( = 349) panel study of telecommuters in the United States, indicated that rate of increase in the proportion of confirmed COVID-19 cases in communities was negatively associated with the rate of increase in satisfaction with work-family balance, which translated into decreasing levels of well-being over time. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings.
我们研究了社区中新冠疫情发生率对远程办公者平衡工作与家庭角色的满意度及其幸福感的干扰影响。利用事件系统理论和适应理论，我们提出，远程办公者居住社区中新冠确诊病例比例的上升速度，将预示着他们对工作与家庭平衡的满意度随时间推移的上升速度会降低，从而间接影响幸福感的两个关键方面——情绪耗竭和生活满意度。使用客观社区数据的潜在增长曲线模型结果，以及来自美国一项针对远程办公者的三波（n = 349）面板研究的调查回复表明，社区中新冠确诊病例比例的上升速度与工作与家庭平衡满意度的上升速度呈负相关，这随着时间的推移转化为幸福感水平的下降。我们讨论了这些发现的理论和实践意义。
