We examined whether dog caregiving and outdoor access affect the relationships between a teleworking day and teleworkers' daily physical activity, loneliness, and job performance during the pandemic in two different seasons in 2021. Building on the biophilia hypothesis, we hypothesized that dog caregiving and outdoor access would attenuate the adverse effects of telework on our outcomes. We tested our cross-level moderation hypotheses in a Belgian daily diary data set combining two data collections during 10 workdays in two seasons: One in 284 teleworking employees in spring and one in 151 teleworking employees in autumn-of whom 75 also participated in spring (Npersons = 360, Ndatapoints = 3,809). Consistent with our hypotheses, mixed coefficient modeling showed two-way interactions between teleworking day and dog caregiving, and between teleworking day and outdoor access on daily physical activity, daily loneliness, and daily job performance. Specifically, both dog caregiving and outdoor access buffered against the harmful effects of a teleworking day on these three outcomes: On teleworking days compared to nonteleworking days, there was a smaller decrease in physical activity and in job performance for employees who had a dog or who had outdoor access compared to employees who did not. Likewise, dog caregiving and outdoor access buffered against an increase in loneliness on teleworking days, with a less steep increase for employees with a dog or outdoor access. Our study shows the importance of contextualizing the home context more broadly by including dogs and outdoor access at home when considering the effects of telework during and after the pandemic.

家庭工作场所的生物亲和力：将狗的护理和户外活动结合起来，解释远程工作人员的日常体力活动、孤独感和工作表现。


我们研究了 2021 年两个不同季节的大流行期间，看护狗和户外活动是否会影响远程办公日与远程工作者的日常体力活动、孤独感和工作表现之间的关系。基于亲生物假说，我们假设狗看护和户外活动访问将减轻远程工作对我们结果的不利影响。我们在比利时每日日记数据集中测试了我们的跨级别调节假设，该数据集结合了两个季节 10 个工作日期间的两次数据收集：春季 284 名远程办公员工中就有 1 名，秋季 151 名远程办公员工中就有 1 名——其中 75 名也参加了春季（ N 人 = 360，N 数据点 = 3,809）。与我们的假设一致，混合系数模型显示了远程办公日和狗护理之间以及远程办公日和户外活动之间在日常体力活动、日常孤独感和日常工作绩效方面的双向相互作用。具体来说，狗的护理和户外活动都缓冲了远程办公日对以下三个结果的有害影响：与非远程工作日相比，养狗或养狗的员工在远程办公日的体力活动和工作绩效下降幅度较小。与没有户外通道的员工相比，有户外通道的员工。同样，狗的照顾和户外活动也缓解了远程办公期间孤独感的增加，而对于有狗或户外活动的员工来说，孤独感的增加幅度较小。我们的研究表明，在考虑大流行期间和之后远程办公的影响时，通过将狗和户外活动纳入家中，更广泛地了解家庭环境的重要性。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
