    IMPACT OF WORK INTERFERENCE WITH FAMILY ON EMPLOYEE WELLBEING: A STUDY OF REMOTE WORKERS IN THE IT BASED ORGANIZATIONS - MODERATING EFFECT SOCIAL ISOLATION
    (Department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2025) Randika, L.B.Y.; Wijewantha, P.
    The aim of this research will revolve around analyzing the impact of work interference with family (WIF) on the wellbeing of employees and the moderation of social isolation among remote workers in IT-based organizations in Sri Lanka. Based on Work-Family Conflict Theory and Conservation of Resources Theory, the approach used in this study was quantitative. Accordingly, data collection was from 182 executive-level employees who responded to a self-administered questionnaire. These results showed that there was a significant negative relation between work interfering with family and the employee well-being, (β = -.751, p 0.90.) These findings extend the extant literature by demonstrating heightened effects of work – family conflict in remote settings and identifying social isolation as a critical boundary condition. The present research has several implications for organizations managing remote employees, in particular in extending considerable policies for boundary management and creating ways for encouraging social connectivity.

Generally, the IT industry deals with high demands and consequently a high level of stress. As a result, the IT industry highly suffers from issues related to employee burnout and turnover. Therefore, organizations stepping into exploring new strategies for effective employee engagement is critically important. As one of the strategies, employee mindfulness has been identified as a proposition for improving employee well-being and work engagement, and this study aims to validate these claims by examining how employee mindfulness affects employee well-being and, in turn, improves work engagement among IT professionals. This study used quantitative research methods and data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to IT professionals at ABC Company. According to the analysis, employee mindfulness positively affects work engagement, and this relationship significantly mediates the employee’s well-being. These findings suggest that employee mindfulness not only directly improves employee work engagement but also indirectly improves employee well-being. This dual effect highlights the importance of fostering a holistic approach to a mindfulness-oriented workforce. Further, the findings of this study provide actionable insights for organizational leaders in the IT industry and HR professionals and provide a route map for implementing mindfulness practices to enhance employee well-being and employee work engagement.
