Abstract
The aims of this mixed-method research were (1) to develop and validate the causal relationship model of employees’ well-being, and (2) to analyze the effects of work from home, work based social support, virtual work support and work-life balance on employees’ well-being. This study was a mixed-method research involving the quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. In the quantitative study, the research sample consisted of 379 office employees at a consolidated department store. A questionnaire was used to collect data, and then the data were analyzed using structural equation modeling technique. In the qualitative study, the data were collected by interviewing 20 key informants. The data were analyzed with the content analysis method. The findings were as follows: (1) the developed causal relationship model fitted with the empirical data and 96.92 percent of employees’ well-being could be collectively explained by all four independent variables; and (2) work from home had negative effect on employees’ well-being; while virtual work support, work based social support, and work-life balance had positive effects on employees’ well-being.
