Abstract

In the last few years, the amount of virtual work performed in organisations has increased significantly, effectively changing the traditional workplace environment. In this study, we used longitudinal data obtained from 324 university alumni to examine changes in attitudes towards virtual work over time. We predicted that the virtuality of an individual's job and the work family conflict experienced on the job would moderate attitudes towards virtual work over time. We found that degree of virtuality was a positive moderator of the relationship between attitudes towards virtual work in times 1 and 2. However, we did not find work family conflict to moderate the relationship between attitudes towards virtual work in times 1 and 2. Interestingly, however, we found the presence of a three-way interaction between attitudes towards virtual work, virtuality and work family conflict.
