This page presents my research paper from an interdisciplinary theory and concept class, focusing on a timely and relevant topic: the impact of working from home on familial relationships. The paper delves into the question, “Does working from home enhance familial relationships due to increased proximity, or does it inadvertently create work-life boundary issues, leading to increased familial tensions and conflicts?”
In this comprehensive study, I explore various dimensions of how the shift to remote work has affected family dynamics. The paper analyzes both the positive and negative implications of working from home, considering factors such as the blurring of boundaries between professional and personal life, changes in family interaction patterns, and the psychological impacts on individuals and their family members.
Alongside the main research, I have included a section for self-annotation and reflections. This personal touch provides insights into my own experiences and observations regarding the subject. It also offers a critical evaluation of the research process, discussing the challenges encountered and the learnings derived from the study.
The combination of academic research and reflective writing in this paper aims to provide a well-rounded perspective on an issue that has become increasingly significant in today’s society, particularly in the context of the recent global shift towards remote work.
