The Impact of Job Autonomy on Employees' Subjective Well-Being in Remote Work Settings

Against the backdrop of innovation-driven development, remote work has become a commonplace workplace model. Remote workers enjoy higher levels of job autonomy, making its impact on subjective well-being worthy of attention.This study constructs a mediated moderation model based on self-determination theory and the demands-resources model to explore how job autonomy influences employees' subjective well-being through psychological detachment, and the moderating role of organizational attachment in this relationship. Using a questionnaire survey, empirical data were collected from 500 remote workers. Findings reveal that job autonomy significantly enhances employees' subjective well-being. Psychological detachment partially mediates the relationship between job autonomy and subjective well-being, while organizational attachment moderates the interaction between job autonomy and psychological detachment.
