Abstract
Working from home, previously framed as the same concept as teleworking, is a practice that had already increased in the past decades, but the current health crisis (SARS-2 COVID19) exacerbated the number of home workers all of a sudden (Popovici & Lavinia, 2020). Thus, many workers were forced to manage the boundaries between work and home without experience nor the physical boundary that is blurred under these circumstances in contrast with previous teleworkers. Thus, this study aims to address the gap that exists within the literature since most of it focuses on job conditions rather than the individual when understanding boundary management when working from home (Beauregard, et. al., 2019). Specifically, the aim was to explore the... (More)
Working from home, previously framed as the same concept as teleworking, is a practice that had already increased in the past decades, but the current health crisis (SARS-2 COVID19) exacerbated the number of home workers all of a sudden (Popovici & Lavinia, 2020). Thus, many workers were forced to manage the boundaries between work and home without experience nor the physical boundary that is blurred under these circumstances in contrast with previous teleworkers. Thus, this study aims to address the gap that exists within the literature since most of it focuses on job conditions rather than the individual when understanding boundary management when working from home (Beauregard, et. al., 2019). Specifically, the aim was to explore the impact of self-leadership on boundary management when working from home and, to clarify the role of autonomy in the matter. 168 participants filled out an online survey that was distributed through their private network that included various items about self-leadership, boundary management, and autonomy. To analyze the data and testing hypotheses, correlations and regression models were computed. Results showed a significant association between self-leadership and boundary control but not integrative behavior. Furthermore, a negative significant association was found between boundary control and integrative behavior, and lastly, autonomy did not have any moderating effect of self-leadership with boundary control nor with integrative behavior. However, autonomy was significantly linked with boundary control but not with integrative behavior. (Less)
