;In response to the impact of COVID-19, “Work from Home” (WFH) or telework becomes an issue that corporates must face. With the changes in workplace and communication methods which surely are challenges to both employers and employees. However, WFH is not as wonderful and easy as imagined. For supervisors who conduct traditional management methods, seeing employees physically attend to their workplace is a vital element while evaluating their overall work performance. Therefore, some supervisors will keep a close eye on their employees during WFH that causes the increment of meeting hours and countless progress reports from employees. In addition to having professional knowledge and skills, employees also need to devote more time and energy to work, which brings great stress to them. This study takes the Job Demands-Resources mode as the theoretical basis in which the meeting intensity during WFH as the observed independent variable of the job demands in JD-R mode and work stress as dependent variables to conduct statistical analysis to explore the relationship between the variables.This study collected data through an online questionnaire with 252 valid results. Study shows with following results: 1. The meeting intensity of WFH is positively correlated with workload; 2. There is also a positive correlation between workload and work stress; 3. Authoritarian leadership shows no moderation effect between the meeting intensity of WFH and workload.This research therefore suggested corporations take a thorough assessment of the environment and situation setting of WFH to properly reduce workload that could help employees achieve a better work-life balance with less work stress.
