Work/home spillover when working from home

Employees are daily border-crossers between work and home (Clark, 2000). They perform different roles, fulfilling different responsibilities associated with different roles day and night, at home and at work. When ones' resources (time, energy, money, work skills, life skills, social support, etc.) are insufficient to cover all these roles and responsibilities simultaneously, s/he will be involved in the negative work-home spillover consequences, specifically work-home conflict. One's responsibilities at home and at work, and his/her relationships with others are dynamic throughout the different stages of his/her family life (Allen & Shockley, 2012). However, given the new requirement for many people to work from home, the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has blurred the lines between work and home and impacted on the dynamics of responsibilities and relationships.
