The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of required remote work on work–family spillover within U.S. college sport. In particular, we examined the changes in work–family spillover (positive and negative), job commitment, and workaholism as employee’s work environment changed from traditional work expectations to work from home, and if these changes were, at least partially, due to parental responsibilities. Data were collected from full-time, National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) athletic department employees (n = 1,139) in November 2019 and again in May 2020 following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and after the transition to remote work. Results showed that sport employees found a number of benefits associated with working remotely, including a significant decrease in negative work–family spillover. However, employees with children at home reported higher levels of negative family–work spillover after going to remote work. Workaholism was also higher after the move to remote work. Both theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

本研究的目的是调查所需的远程工作对美国大学体育运动中工作-家庭溢出的影响。特别是，我们研究了随着员工的工作环境从传统的工作期望转变为在家工作，工作-家庭溢出效应（正面和负面）、工作承诺和工作狂的变化，以及这些变化是否至少部分是由于父母的职责。数据收集自全国大学体育协会 (NCAA) 体育部门的全职员工 ( n = 1,139) 于 2019 年 11 月和 2020 年 5 月在 COVID-19 大流行病爆发和过渡到远程工作之后再次出现。结果表明，体育从业人员发现了与远程工作相关的许多好处，包括显着减少负面的工作-家庭溢出效应。然而，在家中有孩子的员工报告说，在远程工作后，他们对家庭工作的负面影响更大。转向远程工作后，工作狂也更高。讨论了理论和实践意义。
