Office settings and environments that affect employees\u2019 well-being have been widely researched. However, research on the homeworkers\u2019 home setting while working from home and employees\u2019 well-being in Hong Kong is limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study explored the association between WFH settings, including home workstation satisfaction and home environment comfort, and employees\u2019 physical and psychological well-being.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data were collected via online questionnaires from homeworkers (N\u2009=\u2009222) during the fifth wave of COVID-19 in Hong Kong.
