Abstract
Within the wake of the COVID‐19 pandemic, we investigate work‐nonwork boundary management among workers who transitioned to remote work. Based on five waves of data and a sample of 155 remote workers, we find that the preference for segmentation was associated with greater work‐nonwork balance. We also found that having a dedicated office space within the home and fewer household members was associated with greater work‐nonwork balance. However, these variables did not moderate the relationship between segmentation preferences and work‐nonwork balance as expected. We discuss implications for future research on boundary management processes and practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
