“…The detrimental effects of paid working hours, restrictive organizational norms, stress, and flexibility suggest that these work characteristics deplete family life. Although job flexibility is generally considered a resource rather than a work demand, it can also harm family life by eroding the boundary between the work and the family domains (Peters & Van der Lippe, 2007). The results for the other work stressors were less clear cut.…”

This study investigated whether the amount and nature of parent‐child time mediated the association between parental work characteristics and parent‐child relationship quality. We based hypotheses on the conflict and enrichment approaches, and we tested a path model using self‐collected data on 1,008 Dutch fathers and 929 Dutch mothers with school‐aged children. Longer working hours and less work engagement were associated with less parent‐child time and longer working hours, more restrictive organizational norms, stress, flexibility, nonstandard hours (mothers only), and work engagement increased the disturbance of parent‐child activities. Less and more disturbed parent‐child activities were, in turn, associated with a lower parent‐child relationship quality. In addition, work engagement and working hours had direct, beneficial effects on parent‐child relationship quality.

“…Work overload and work-home conflict are of relevance in the telework context [7,31,43], and have consistently been found to influence exhaustion [24]. Information underload and social isolation are particularly relevant for the telework context.…”

Despite the wide dissemination and acceptance of teleworking in the IT industry, companies like Yahoo!, HP, or Best Buy have stopped their telework programs, which indicates that there might also be some negative side effects in this type of work. In regard to this, our research focuses on one particular negative side of teleworking by focusing on teleworking-induced stress of IT professionals. We theorize that teleworking-induced stressors influence IT personnel's psychological and behavioral strain in the form of exhaustion due to teleworking and discontinuous intention towards teleworking. Results of an empirical online survey with 57 IT professionals validate these dependencies, which gives us the grounds to identify work overload, work-home conflict, information underload, and social isolation as influence factors of exhaustion due to teleworking. Further results reveal that discontinuous intentions towards teleworking is directly influenced by social isolation and exhaustion due to teleworking, whereas the influence of work overload is mediated by exhaustion due to teleworking. Work overload due to telework has the strongest effect on exhaustion due to teleworking, which in turn is the strongest influence factor on the discontinuous intention towards teleworking.

“…Previous studies, however, have shown that flexible work arrangements can have disadvantageous side effects because they blur the boundaries between family and work, thus increasing work-family conflict (Desrochers, Hilton, & Larwood, 2005). For example, Peters and van der Lippe (2007) showed that flextime and telecommuting led to more time pressure in the long run among employees with children, and Hill, Hawkins, and Miller (1996) reported that some telecommuters experienced more work-family interference, increasing stress. We expect, therefore, that the enrichment approach is more applicable for explaining the effects of flexible work arrangements on work outcomes.…”
