The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated labor flexibility and the rise of innovative business models, driven by digital transformation and the need for adaptability. This shift necessitated the development of new models, policies, and guidelines to address global expansion and work-life balance, presenting organizations with novel challenges. This study investigated work-life balance, resilience, and coping strategies of 3302 workers across five Latin American countries (Argentina, Perú, Colombia, Honduras, and México) in the context of these emerging flexible work arrangements. The findings indicate that 38.5% of workers experienced improved work-life balance with remote or hybrid work, and 49.5% reported increased productivity. However, challenges emerged, with 34.1% citing difficulties in time management, 39.7% reporting blurred work-life boundaries, and 36.9% finding it harder to take breaks. Gender differences were observed in resilience and coping mechanisms: men exhibited higher resilience, favored cognitive restructuring and spiritual support, while women relied more on family support and acceptance of help. Notably, no significant gender differences were found in work-life balance or social support. The study suggests that flexible work modalities positively influence employee well-being. However, this flexibility necessitates a reevaluation of business and operational models, including a thorough analysis of work-life balance conditions, considering employees' resilience and coping strategies within the specific productive and organizational context. © The authors © IEEE.

Parenting stress is a complex process for parents who feel that the demands of their children upbringing overwhelm their roles. Parenting stress can be associated with anxiety, parental conflict and harsh discipline practices, and the use of coping strategies that positively buffer the effect of these variables on parents. Although the factors associated with parenting stress are well documented, the literature offers few models to explain the stress and the mediation of certain variables on Colombian families. The aim of this quantitative cross-sectional study was to analyze the mediation of anxiety and coping strategies in the relationship between 1) severe discipline and parenting stress, and 2) interparental conflict and parenting stress. A total of 1.373 fathers and mothers of Colombian children participated (Age M = 40.57; SD = 12.65). Questionnaires on parenting stress, severe discipline, perception of interparental conflict, anxiety and family functioning in crisis situations were applied. Severe discipline and interparental conflict accounted for 30 % of parenting stress. Anxiety mediated the relationship between severe discipline and parenting stress. Anxiety and cognitive restructuring mediated the relationship between interparental conflict and parenting stress. The findings show that parenting stress interventions are important in reducing severe discipline and interparental conflict by managing anxiety and using coping strategies such as cognitive restructuring. Thus, these measures contribute to the well-being of families, favoring the integral development of children. ©The authors ©Elsevier.
