Abstract
There has been a renewed interest in work from home (WFH) recently, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the effect that it had in shifting many workers from the office to the home. Past research on WFH suggests contradictory outcomes of WFH in both the work and family domains. While a number of researchers have indicated that WFH can undermine work-family balance (WFB), others have suggested that WFB can be enhanced as a result of WFH. Drawing on multiple theoretical perspectives, including Job Demands-Resources (JDR), Person-Environment (PE) Fit, and research on work-family balance, this paper develops a conceptual model exploring the potential role of job crafting and home crafting in enhancing WFB through the mediating role of person-job fit and person-home fit. In the current paper, we theorize an indirect relationship between job crafting, home crafting, and WFB through person-job fit and person-home fit.. Theoretical and practical implications, as well as the avenues for future research, are discussed.
