Exploring the impact of different work settings on employees’ work and 
family outcomes 
 
Until recently, we have known about three kinds of work settings: office, home, and hybrid. Most 
companies prefer that their employees work in the office as it is more productive. However, current 
pandemic of COVID-19 has led many employees to work from home. As it has created a factor of 
uncertainty, many professionals are concerned whether working from home generates better 
results or not. It raises an important and significant question that does shifting to other work 
settings have any harmful or beneficial effect on employees’ family and work-related outcomes. 
Therefore, this research aims to examine the differences in the levels of work-family conflict, family 
-work conflict, job satisfaction, job stress, and work engagement across different work settings i.e. 
home, office, and hybrid. In other words, we aim to investigate the difference in employees’ work 
and family related attitudes and behaviors depending on whether they work from home only, work 
from office only, or use hybrid work settings. The research will provide theoretical as well as 
practical guidelines to the organizations to decide which settings are better for both productivity 
and well-being of their employees.
