Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic and global teams have significantly contributed to the rise of virtual teams and digital workspaces requiring a fundamental shift in viewing work and life as an integrated construct. While a vast majority of literature exists on work-life it is fragmented by sub-constructs like work-family conflict, family-to-work conflict, work-home interference, etc. The current paper looks at work-life integration as a harmonious amalgamation of an individual's personal and professional demands beyond just work and family commitments. The paper attempts to synthesise this literature across 116 articles and propose a comprehensive, future-relevant model of work-life integration that will guide future researchers and practitioners alike. The paper expands the existing academic knowledge by proposing an integrated model of work-life relationships including 5 key aspects of individual and self, work and career, home and family, community and connecting, and finally health and wellbeing. The recommendations from the paper can also better equip practitioners to manage work-life integration in virtual or hybrid workplaces and help HR practitioners design policy interventions for the same.

概念化工作-生活整合：回顾与研究议程

2019冠状病毒病大流行和全球团队大大促进了虚拟团队和数字工作空间的兴起，需要从根本上转变对工作和生活的看法。虽然绝大多数关于工作-生活的文献都存在，但它们被工作-家庭冲突、家庭-工作冲突、工作-家庭干扰等次级结构所分割。目前的论文将工作与生活的融合视为个人个人和职业需求的和谐融合，而不仅仅是工作和家庭承诺。本文试图在116篇文章中综合这些文献，并提出一个全面的、与未来相关的工作生活整合模型，以指导未来的研究人员和从业者。本文扩展了现有的学术知识，提出了一个工作与生活关系的综合模型，包括个人与自我，工作与职业，家庭与家庭，社区与联系，最后是健康与幸福五个关键方面。本文的建议还可以帮助从业者更好地管理虚拟或混合工作场所的工作与生活整合，并帮助人力资源从业者设计相应的政策干预措施。
