Abstract: To ignite a theoretical progression for business travel and work-nonwork management research, this study constructed a framework to understand the work-leisure interference process in business travel. The dual lens of resource reservoirs and resource caravan passageways is useful to explain how functional and hedonic travel benefits influence work and leisure outcomes via work-leisure conflict. A mixed methods approach combining survey and experimental design was employed. It was found that functional and hedonic benefits significantly influence revisit intention, destination attachment, job satisfaction, and work vigor through reduced work-leisure conflict. Perceived control moderates the effect of functional or hedonic travel benefits on work-leisure conflict. The study contributes to a systematic understanding of business travel's dual aspects based on two empirical investigations.
