Basée sur la théorie de la conservation des ressources, cette étude transversale examine la relation entre la charge de travail des employés qui travaillent à domicile et leur bien-être mental. Le conflit travail-famille, les problèmes de sommeil et l’engagement au travail sont proposés comme médiateurs.
Objective Based on the Conservation of Resource theory, this cross-sectional study investigates the relationship between workload experienced by employees when working at home and their mental well-being. Work-family conflict, sleeping problems, and work engagement are proposed as mediators. Methods A sample of 11501 homeworkers was drawn from the sixth wave of the European Working Condition Survey (EWCS) dataset. Results Unlike expected, the higher the workload, the higher the mental well-being of employees. However, as expected, high workload was correlated with lower well-being when indirect effects through work-family conflict, sleep problems and work engagement, were considered. Similarly, the total effect of workload on mental well-being was negative. Conclusions The study suggests that organizations should pay more attention to the amount of workload experienced by their homeworkers since it may be harmful to their health and well-being.
