Our integrative model of SMC at work during a crisis was grounded on the work–family border theory, COR theory, and the resilience framework. This merger advances our understanding of employees' experiences during a crisis in the digital age when knowledge work especially can be done flexibly and collaborative tools and information are at hand.

Considering that people can have their spouses and children at home when concurrently working remotely, drawing the boundaries between private and professional life can be challenging.
