摘要
The study examines the relationship between emotional intelligence(EI),work-family conflict,and burnout among remote workers,a highly relevant issue in modern working dynamics.The sample included 557 remote workers(Males=59.1%,Mage=31.9,SD=4.64)including different professions(Information technology,engineers,business and management,content writers andfinance)in China.Data was gathered using a cross-sectional survey utilizing standardized tools,including the Work-Family Conflict Scale,Maslach Burnout Inventory,and Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale.Structure equation modeling with slope checks on moderation effects was conducted.Thefindings indicated a significant inverse relationship between work-family conflict and all subdimensions of emotional intelligence,indicating that increased EI could alleviate issues related to work-family conflict in remote working environments.In addition,emotional intelligence and depersonalization,a component of burnout,were found to be inversely related in the study.Thesefindings highlight the role of emotional intelligence on work-family conflict and burnout relationships.Our studyfindings provide a foundation for targeted interventions aimed at enhancing emotional intelligence,thereby reducing burnout in remote work settings and ultimately fostering the well-being and productivity of remote employees.
