ABSTRACT

The present study explicates four types of multitasking when working from home according to their medium and social interactivity, and further explores the antecedent and consequences of different types of multitasking. A total of 429 U.S. employees who worked from home participated in an online survey in August 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results indicated that a balance between work and life identities was positively associated with technology-mediated and in-person high-interactive multitasking during work time, but not with low-interactive multitasking. In-person high-interactive multitasking, in turn, was related to greater interference with work but a higher level of life satisfaction. In addition, men and women experienced different levels of work-life identity balance and adopted different types of multitasking to achieve such a balance.

摘要

本研究根据他们的媒介和社交互动性解释了在家工作时的四种类型的多任务处理，并进一步探讨了不同类型多任务处理的前因和后果。2020 年 8 月，在 COVID-19 大流行期间，共有 429 名在家工作的美国员工参加了在线调查。结果表明，工作和生活身份之间的平衡与工作时间以技术为中介的和面对面的高交互多任务处理呈正相关，但与低交互多任务处理无关。反过来，面对面的高交互多任务处理与对工作的更大干扰有关，但与更高水平的生活满意度有关。此外，
