Abstract/Summary

The relationship between telecommuting and work-family conflict has been studied throughout the years but there are areas in the research that still need to be addressed, including the lack of consensus on areas such as hours of work, and the total amount of hours an individual telecommutes. There was also a lack of research on how work-family centrality influences the relationship between telecommuting and work-family conflict. Drawing upon the Resource Drain Theory (Edwards & Rothbard, 2000), this study hypothesized that telecommuting positively affects work-family conflict and that work-family centrality will moderate this relationship. Based on the data gathered from 208 working professionals based in the National Capital Region of the Philippines, it was found that the results did not align with the study’s hypotheses. Telecommuting did not have a relationship with work-family conflict, and work-family centrality could not moderate the relationship between the two variables. Given such findings, the need to first establish the role of different telecommuting hours when examining its relationship with work-family conflict was suggested. Other limitations and future directions of this research have also been discussed.
