The link and prerequisites of burnout and work-home conflict for teleworkers while working from home. Asta Podgornaja. Vilnius, 2023, p. 84. Recently, teleworking has become a common form of work, with hybrid work, where part-time workers are allowed to work from home, gaining in popularity. To date, the results of research on home-based teleworking in relation to burnout and work-home conflict show that there is no unified scientific position. The world has changed a lot since the Covid-19 pandemic, and it is not clear how the norms and biases discovered before the pandemic will match the reality of the new world. Research analysing teleworking in the home environment is therefore needed. The aim of this study is to investigate and uncover the patterns, relationships and predictors of professional burnout and work-home conflict experienced by teleworkers, taking into account the varying proportion of time spent working at home. The sample consisted of 320 teleworkers working at home in different ways, of whom 219 ( 68 %) were women and 101 ( 32 %) were men. The age of the subjects ranged from 19 to 64 years, with a mean age of 37.67 years (SD = 9.44). The SWING work-home interaction, CBI burnout and Kreiner separation preferences and supplies questionnaires were used in the study. The most important predictors of burnout in the home context are work-home conflict, inflexibility of the work schedule, the employee's strong need to separate work and home, and the lack of opportunities to separate these spheres. The most important preconditions for work-home conflict in the home context are the strong desire of the individual to separate the spheres of work and home, and the lack of opportunities to separate these spheres. The interaction between separation preferences and supplies is a major prerequisite for work-home conflict: the more the worker's need for work-home segmentation coincides with the employer's provision of opportunities to separate the spheres, the less work-home conflict will occur. This compatibility is important because work-home conflict and burnout have a strong positive relationship that does not differ between those who work different hours at home. |
