Description
This study develops and presents a framework that assesses the impact of information and communication technology (ICT) permeability on work and family outcomes among dual-career couples who live together and work from home (WFH). As these couples depend heavily on ICTs to coordinate work, family responsibilities, and communication with each other, they can face cognitive and emotional limitations. Our model suggests that the level of ICT permeability in WFH situations is positively related to ICT fatigue, which can lead to negative family outcomes. Moreover, we investigate the effect of ICT permeability on positive work outcomes through goal progress. Using a 10-day diary approach with dual-career couples in live-in partnerships, we provide robust empirical evidence that supports our model. Our findings contribute to the existing literature on WFH, which has been facilitated using advanced ICTs.
