We believe that our integrative model of SMC at work during a crisis is important for future studies investigating the on-going COVID-19 crisis and any forthcoming societal and global crises. This model is able to map dimensions of work–family boundary management, resources, and support gained from work and personal resilience under crisis. As such, the model is not limited to crises such as COVID-19, but it could be applied to other types of societal, local, or organizational crises. These could be, for example, man-made environmental disasters, violent events, economic crises, or unusual circumstances taking place within organizations and forcing workers to rearrange their work. In all types of crises, boundary management, resources, and resilience are imperative for workers to continue their tasks.
