Summary

Introduction

Work and family functions are known as highly related domains of an individual’s life (Padhi & Pattnaik, 2017). They might feel negative threats at work which causes negative consequences in reducing the conflicts between work and family domains (Zhao & Namasivayam, 2012) Despite all these findings, there are still spaces created for employees to experience high levels of inter-role conflicts whenever they have brought work back home and it might affect the attractiveness of WFH. It proposes to examine the moderating effect of inter-role conflict on the relationship between the job and home characteristics towards intentions to work from home This is to improve the predictive value of the whole proposed conceptual model for the future empirical study on this research
