Abstract
Prior to COVID-19, telework was a key action adopted by companies to foster employee wellbeing, but the evidence of its effects was equivocal This study aims to 1) develop and validate a questionnaire measuring the quality of telework (QoT-q) and 2) assess the impact of telework on employee work engagement and work-family balance in the case of high-quality telework (HqT), low-quality telework (LqT), and no telework (NoT) The sample consists of 260 workers from three Italian organizations Through principal component analysis and Cronbach's alpha values, the final QoT-q comprised three areas: 1) agile workplaces, 2) flexible worker, and 3) virtual leadership ANOVAs showed that job resources, work engagement, and work-family balance are significantly higher among HqT, while job demands do not differ or were lower The Job Demands-Resources model was useful to explain the effects of telework Implications for future research and practice are presented (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Antes del COVID-19, el teletrabajo era una de las principales medidas que adoptaban las empresas para fomentar el bienestar de los empleados, pero la evidencia de sus efectos era dudosa Este estudio tiene como objetivo 1) desarrollar y validar un cuestionario que mide la calidad del teletrabajo (QoT-q) y 2) evaluar el impacto del teletrabajo en el compromiso laboral de los empleados y el equilibrio trabajo-familia en el caso del teletrabajo de alta calidad (HqT), teletrabajo de baja calidad (LqT) y ningun teletrabajo (NoT) La muestra esta formada por 260 trabajadores de tres organizaciones italianas A traves del analisis de componentes principales y los valores alfa de Cronbach, la QoT-q final comprendia tres areas: 1) lugares de trabajo agiles, 2) trabajador flexible y 3) liderazgo virtual Los ANOVA mostraron que los recursos laborales, el compromiso laboral y el equilibrio entre el trabajo y la familia son significativamente mas altos entre HqT, mientras que las demandas laborales no difieren o son mas bajas El modelo demandas-recursos del puesto de trabajo ha sido util para explicar los efectos del teletrabajo Se presentan las implicaciones para la investigacion y la practica futura (Spanish) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Copyright of Revista de Psicologia del Trabajo y de Las Organizaciones is the property of Colegio Oficial de Psicologos de Madrid and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission However, users may print, download, or email articles for individual use This abstract may be abridged No warranty is given about the accuracy of the copy Users should refer to the original published version of the material for the full abstract (Copyright applies to all Abstracts )
