Abstract

The impact of work-life on employee well-being, family, and productivity is a prevalent concern in today’s fast-paced and demanding work environments. This document presents the results of a pilot study that involves coherent data gathering, ease of massification of the tracking instrument used, and the possibility of continued observation to anticipate high-impact social disorders that affect the core of societies, the family. The research utilizes the SWING questionnaire, a widely used tool for measuring work-home interaction, to assess four types of synergies: positive work-to-home interaction, negative work-to-home interaction, positive home-to-work interaction, and negative home-to-work interaction.

The study employs the Evalu@ - data centralizer to gather information from populations that receive the tracking instruments in their smartphones. This approach enables fast and efficient data collection for posterior analysis providing researchers and practitioners with unexplored information and valuable insights into any field suitable for inspection.

The inference findings extracted from the presented exercise and other factors not included in this document will have a double-strike impact when spreading the methodology to a broader audience. The acquisition forms can continue pinpointing employees at risk of an unbalanced lifestyle to warn companies and individuals about low productivity with possible roots or consequences at home or home instability due to work factors. But more importantly, the exercise is a successful proof-of-concept to enable the participation of individuals in an organization with a hierarchical structure. We backed the findings with verifiable statistical procedures that will not take more than minutes to set up and a few more to yield results, a dynamic participation mechanism never envisaged before.
