Abstract

Within the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, we investigate work-nonwork boundary management among workers who transitioned to remote work Based on five waves of data and a sample of 155 remote workers, we find that the preference for segmentation was associated with greater work-nonwork balance We also found that having a dedicated office space within the home and fewer household members was associated with greater work-nonwork balance However, these variables did not moderate the relationship between segmentation preferences and work-nonwork balance as expected We discuss implications for future research on boundary management processes and practices (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved)
