  • Abstract:
  • This study delves into the relationship between home-based work (WFH) and family affairs. The surge of remote work is shining a light on family matters because of its distinct implications. This research aims to delve into familial role shifts, the harmony of work and life, and home duty changes brought about by the WFH trend. By utilizing a dual-method strategy, which uses surveys and conversations, the research uncovers the good and the bad aspects of the subject and gives a glimpse of what working from home signifies with an emphasis on changes in family interactions and tasks. The rise of working from home (WFH) has transformed traditional work settings, influencing various aspects of daily life, including family dynamics. This paper examines the positive and negative impacts of WFH on family relationships and routines. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and case studies, it explores how increased flexibility, reduced commuting, and changes in work-life boundaries affect family life. The findings indicate that while WFH can enhance family time and flexibility, it also poses challenges such as blurred boundaries and increased conflict. Recommendations for managing these effects and implications for future research are discussed.
