Working from Home: Hybrid and Predominantly Home-Based Work in Relation to Work Environment, Job Satisfaction, and
1Department of Behavioural Sciences and Learning, Linköping University, 581 83 Linköping, Sweden.
Summary
Hybrid and predominantly home-based work arrangements impact employees differently. Hybrid work is linked to higher role ambiguity and lower job satisfaction, while extensive remote work affects health, sleep, satisfaction, and workload.
Area of Science:
- Occupational Health
- Organizational Psychology
- Sociology of Work
Background:
- The rise of remote work necessitates understanding its varied impacts on employees.
- Different working-from-home arrangements may yield distinct outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the associations between different degrees of working from home (office, hybrid, predominantly home-based) and employee outcomes.
- To differentiate the effects of hybrid versus predominantly home-based work on work environment perceptions, job satisfaction, and health.
Main Methods:
- Utilized a national probability sample of 2331 Swedish employees.
- Employed a multivariate regression model to analyze associations between working arrangements and employee outcomes.
Main Results:
- Hybrid work correlated with increased role ambiguity and decreased job satisfaction.
- Predominantly home-based work was associated with poorer general health, more sleep issues, lower job satisfaction, higher role ambiguity, and reduced perceived workload.
- Distinct patterns of outcomes emerged for hybrid versus predominantly home-based work.
Conclusions:
- The impact of working from home varies significantly based on the degree and arrangement of remote work.
- Distinguishing between hybrid and predominantly home-based work is crucial for understanding employee well-being and work experiences.
- Future research and workplace policies should consider the nuances of different remote work models.

Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...

1.6K
The principle of virtual work states that if a body is in static and dynamic equilibrium, then the sum of all the virtual work done by all external forces and couple moments for any given virtual displacement must be zero.
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...

2.8K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...
