We aimed to investigate the association between working from home (WFH), depression/anxiety, and work-family conflict (WFC) among Korean workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We surveyed a total of 1074 workers online. Depression and anxiety were measured using the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Mediating effects of WFC on the relationship between WFH and depression/anxiety were examined.
The WFH group had higher depression and anxiety scores than the daily commuting group. As WFC increased, the CES-D and BAI scores also increased. A possible mediating effect of WFC on the relationship between WFH and high CES-D and BAI scores was found.
We observed a significant difference in depression/anxiety between WFH and daily commute workers, which was mediated by WFC, especially for young, child-growing, and precarious workers.
本研究旨在探讨新冠肺炎疫情期间韩国劳动者居家办公(WFH)与抑郁/焦虑和工作家庭冲突(WFC)之间的关系。
我们通过在线调查的方式共对 1074 名劳动者进行了调查。采用中心流行病学研究抑郁量表(CES-D)和贝克焦虑量表(BAI)来测量抑郁和焦虑。检验了 WFC 在 WFH 与抑郁/焦虑之间关系中的中介效应。
WFH 组的抑郁和焦虑评分高于每日通勤组。随着 WFC 的增加,CES-D 和 BAI 的评分也随之增加。WFH 与高 CES-D 和 BAI 评分之间的关系存在 WFC 的中介作用。
我们观察到 WFH 与每日通勤劳动者在抑郁/焦虑方面存在显著差异,这种差异是由 WFC 介导的,尤其是对年轻、有子女、工作不稳定的劳动者而言。
