Abstract

Objective: This study examined the relationship between the frequency of home-based telework and work engagement, considering workers' preferences for telework.

Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study from 2020 to 2021 in Japan.

Results: A total of 18,170 workers completed the survey. Home-based telework performed 1-3 days per week was associated with higher work engagement compared to no home-based telework. In analyses stratified by home-based telework preference, those who preferred to telework had higher work engagement at all frequencies compared to who did not telework. Who did not prefer home-based telework showed no association between telework frequency and work engagement.

Conclusions: Low- and moderate-intensity telework have beneficial effects on work engagement. Who preferred home-based telework, work engagement was higher at all frequencies compared to those who did not telework.

家庭远程办公与工作投入的关系：一项前瞻性队列研究。

目的：考虑到员工对远程办公的偏好，本研究考察了在家远程办公频率与工作投入之间的关系。方法：我们在日本进行了一项2020 - 2021年的前瞻性队列研究。结果：18170名员工完成了调查。与不在家远程办公相比，每周在家远程办公1-3天的人工作投入度更高。在以家庭为基础的远程办公偏好分层的分析中，与不远程办公的人相比，那些喜欢远程办公的人在所有频率上都有更高的工作投入。那些不喜欢在家远程办公的人没有发现远程办公频率和工作投入之间的联系。结论：低强度和中等强度的远程办公对工作投入有有益的影响。与不远程办公的人相比，喜欢在家远程办公的人在所有频率上的工作投入度都更高。
