This study used three personal (P) factors and three environmental (E) factors to identify different profiles of work from home (telework) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. A person-centered approach (cluster analysis) identified 4 clusters with different characteristics of P-E factors and they had different levels of work-life conflict (WLC) and boundary control perceptions. The WLC level depended on work and family identities that included overlapping roles in the work and family domain, ICT stress, and the lack of P-E fit. Work-life crafting activities were introduced to manage WLC and to gain boundary control perceptions.
