Abstract

The paper conducted a survey in April and June 2020 on employees who shifted to telework, asking them about the change in working environment and their subjective impressions of their own working efficiency. The results found various stylized facts: (1) the earlier the shift to telework, the better the worker’s efficiency; (2) experience and number of telework hours matter more for efficiency than workers’ base ICT skills; (3) the positive effect of telework on efficiency is highest in very small establishments and large-sized companies; (4) as for work environment, a flexible time management system enhanced the efficiency-improving effect of telework, while a results-based evaluation system led to the opposite effect; and (5) workers’ efficiency tended to increase when more hours were spent on teleworking, as opposed to spending their time on non-work activities like leisure time, housekeeping/childcare, and sleeping.

Mieno Fumiharu评论新冠肺炎时代日本远程工作者的表现

该论文在2020年4月和6月对转向远程工作的员工进行了一项调查，询问他们工作环境的变化以及他们对自己工作效率的主观印象。研究结果发现了各种风格化的事实：（1）越早转向远程工作，工人的效率就越好；（2）远程工作的经验和时间比工人的基本信息和通信技术技能更能提高效率；（3）远程工作对效率的积极影响在非常小的机构和大公司中最高；（4）在工作环境方面，灵活的时间管理系统提高了远程工作的效率提升效果，而基于结果的评估系统则产生了相反的效果；和（5）当更多的时间花在远程工作上时，工人的效率往往会提高，而不是把时间花在休闲时间、家务/育儿和睡觉等非工作活动上。
