During COVID-19 remote work was introduced and nowadays it is often present. Under
remote working conditions decent work as proposed by the International Labor
Organization allows the analysis of working demands and resources, specifically related
to work and nonwork which we define as work-life flow (WLF) (representing the
dimension "working time and workload") and to employee wellbeing (EWB)
(representing the dimension "Health and safety"). This panorama is relatively new and
requires more insight. The aim of this systematic review is to offer results on WLF and
EWB representing the two mentioned decent work dimensions under remote working
conditions. Using PRISMA we identified 27 studies on the relationship between WLF
and EWB and on possible protective and risk factors under the lense of decent work in a
pre- and pandemic remote working context from home. This review is based on two
organizational theories: the Human System Audit and the IGLO Model, and on four
theories explaining wellbeing and work-life interference: Job Demand-Resource Model,
Role Theory, Work-family spillover, and Boundary Theory. We classify protective
(resources) and risk factors (demands) from all organizational levels that influence
WLB and EWB. Inclusion criteria were articles published between 2020-2021.
Findings concern the integration of roles, a frequent reported stressor which increases
work-nonwork interference reducing WLF and EWB. This stressor can be coped with
decent resources at organizational level such as autonomy, schedule control/flexibility
and individual resources such as boundary management. Facilitating employees'
boundary management and perform roles more efficiently, has a positive impact on
EWB and improves the WLF. Results also show that for improving the WLF and EWB
research on psychosocial processes in organizations at leader and group level resources
is needed. Main limitation was the subjectiveness of measures as data was self-reported
with data collection based on individuals' perceptions rather than on behaviors.
