What the paper says

Drawing from the theoretical foundations of the conservation of resources theory ( Hobfoll, 1989 , 2002 ), work-family enrichment theory ( Greenhaus & Powell, 2006 ), and the work-home resources model ( ten Brummelhuis & Bakker, 2012 ), we investigate the interplay of role engagement and work passion that shapes the remote work experience. Using structural equation modelling, we analysed data collected from 539 working adults working-from-home in India. Notably, we observed a positive association between engagement in family roles and positive affect, which subsequently fosters work engagement. When channelled through harmonious work passion, this work engagement contributes to increased work-life enrichment. Conversely, when filtered through obsessive work passion, it tends to amplify work-life conflict. Furthermore, our study highlights the significant influence of external factors, such as work-supportive family behaviour, family-supportive supervisor behaviour, age, income, and family type, on the model’s dynamics. By adopting a comprehensive approach, our study helps gain insights into the intricate mechanisms that govern the work-life interface of an individual when pursuing a remote career from home.
