Following PRISMA guidelines, we performed a scoping review using Social Sciences Citation Index (Web Science), Sociological Abstracts (PROQUEST), SocINDEX with full text (EBSCOhost). Articles published in English up December 2022 were included. The result was total 2695 potentially relevant studies. After double-screening procedure, 132 studies chosen for data extraction. A content analysis carried out summary social mechanisms linking indicators related mental health quality life. complex picture variables emerges on impact through direct or indirect number interactions worker's characteristics. First, features environment matter, as it affects well-being, example, depending better digital infrastructure, access daylight sufficient space. Second, is not only question "where" telework, but also "how much". advantages hybrid mode seem be avoid excessive lack in-person interaction, while offering greater flexibility organizing daily life reducing commuting times. Third, beyond modalities per se, key take into account how these interact workers' personalities, their choices preferences, which are often dictated by stage they in, e.g., parenting career stages. In sum, literature suggests that straight answer positive negative effects neither useful nor necessary. Multiple answers possible unveil specific working arrangements makes lives according different needs. It seems essential continue research away from exceptional stressors pandemic, have greatly skewed evidence detrimental teleworking.

The sample, exploratory nature, consists a dataset 201 teleworkers working in Spanish companies. Findings relevance demonstrated FA found be factor most affects (negatively) PER, followed TR (positively) SI (negatively). Beyond effects, results provide support mediating PER.

PLoS ONE, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 18(4), P. e0283788 - e0283788

Published: April 4, 2023

Frequent working from home (WFH) may stay as a new work norm after the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior observational studies on WFH and outcomes under non-pandemic circumstances are mostly cross-sectional often studied employees who worked in limited capacity. To provide additional insights that might inform post-pandemic policies, using longitudinal data collected before pandemic (June 2018 to July 2019), this study aims examine associations between multiple subsequent work-related outcomes, well potential modifiers of these associations, sample among whom frequent or even full-time was common ( N = 1,123, Mean age 43.37 years). In linear regression models, each outcome (standardized score used) regressed frequencies WFH, adjusting for baseline values variables other covariates. The results suggested 5 days/week versus never associated with subsequently less distraction (ß -0.24, 95% CI -0.38, -0.11), greater perceived productivity/engagement 0.23, 0.11, 0.36), job satisfaction 0.15, 0.02, 0.27), work-family conflicts lesser extent -0.13, -0.26, 0.004). There also evidence suggesting long hours, caregiving responsibilities, sense meaningful can all potentially attenuate benefits WFH.
