Note that the coefficient of Work from Home x University vs Home Space Quality has a negative sign because reflects how an increasing preference for the spatial quality of the university, compared to that of the home, moderates the relationship between working from home and outcomes. When the variable Home Space Quality decreases, it indicates that the individual prefers the home space. Consequently, the sign of the interaction term becomes positive
