Abstract

At the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world, causing numerous changes in people’s lives and working styles. Since more and more employees have to work from home, less is known about how an adequate work environment at home influences these employees’ perceptions of work and family conflicts. Building on Conservation of Resources Theory, this paper studies a sample of 202 Chinese workers who worked at home during the outbreak of COVID-19. SPSS software was used to analyze the combined data. Then this study established a Work environment and Work-Family conflicts model and Linear Regressions of emotional exhaustion, WIF, and FIW. Besides, gender moderated this relationship such that males saw a stronger influence of adequate work environment on work-family conflict compared to females. This study provides a theoretical implication about the effects of the quality of work environment at home on the work-family conflicts under the COVID-19 pandemic.
