Abstract

There is a common assumption that the use of telework is beneficial for managing one’s work and non-work roles due to perceptions of increased flexibility while teleworking. In this meta-analysis we investigate the relationship between telework and bi-directional indicators of work-family conflict, such as work interference with family (WIF) and family interference with work (FIW). We also test whether gender and continuous versus dichotomous measurement of telework (e.g., proportion of working hours spent teleworking versus groups of teleworkers and non-teleworkers) moderate these relationships. Following Schmidt and Hunter’s (2015) random-effects method, we find telework to be associated with significantly lower levels of WIF and not significantly related to FIW. Additionally, gender and measurement of telework both moderate the relationship between telework and WIF. Our findings speak to the nuanced relationship between telework and work-family conflict.
