Improving Work-Life Balance During Distant Work Report
Executive Summary
The review of literature concerning the improvement of employees’ work-life balance (WLB) revealed that three aspects might affect the WLB of the employees. They included management of workspace, communication with friends, and communication with family. Thus, three hypotheses were formulated:
- H1 = Effective space management has a significant effect on WLB during distant work after controlling for gender.
- H2 = Communication with co-workers has a significant effect on WLB during distant work after controlling for gender.
- H3 = Communication with the family has a significant effect on WLB during distant work after controlling for gender.
Multiple regression was used to test the hypotheses. The analysis found significant support for Hypothesis 1; however, Hypotheses 2 and 3 were rejected. Several recommendations were formulated based on the results of research and analysis of possible risk factors and ethical considerations. They included conducting workspace management training, disseminating the results of this study to attract attention to the training program, and ensuring the ethicality of the training process.
