Abstract

Purpose: After two years during which teleworking has been a temporary obligation, the Colombian electricity sector needs to analyze the effect of this type of work on the well-being of employees.Design/Methodology/Approach: Therefore, this research aims to consider whether teleworking (independent variable) and its intensity, together with an implicit extension of the workday, emotionally exhaust (dependent variable) the members of the different organizations studied. Likewise, it is critical to know if affective commitment acts as a causal mediating process and if creativity influences and moderates the relationship between the variables studied. Consequently, a quantitative, cross-sectional, correlational-causal design is used with a sample of 448 teleworkers.Findings: Regarding the results, teleworking and its intensity reduce emotional exhaustion and increase affective commitment. Furthermore, affective commitment acts as a mediating mechanism that tends to reduce exhaustion. However, teleworking when accompanied by an excess of creative demands and a lack of assessment of employees’ resources, gradually contributes to exhaustion. Finally, the extension of the workday reduces affective commitment and increases emotional exhaustion.Research Limitations/Implications: A sector study reduces the generalization of results. Alongside, transversality restricts the accuracy of the temporal relationship between variables.Practical Implications: Developing time management skills is key in teleworking. Also, setting reasonable learning deadlines will reduce possible emotional exhaustion. Finally, leadership has a basic role in digital disconnection policies.Social implications: The perception that teleworking consolidates the work-family axis and equalizes genders is essential for companies to provide well-being in addition to being sustainable.Originality/value: This research will have an impact on immediate decision-making that the Colombian electricity sector may have. Additionally, it can be useful for other industrial segments.

哥伦比亚电力部门的远程工作和情绪疲惫。情感承诺的中介作用和创造力的调节作用。

目的:两年来，远程办公一直是一项临时义务，哥伦比亚电力部门需要分析这种类型的工作对员工福祉的影响。设计/方法/方法:因此，本研究旨在考虑远程工作(自变量)及其强度，以及工作日的隐性延长，是否会使所研究的不同组织的成员情绪疲惫(因变量)。同样，了解情感承诺是否作为一个因果中介过程，以及创造力是否影响和调节所研究变量之间的关系是至关重要的。因此，对448名远程工作者的样本进行了定量、横断面、相关因果设计。结果发现:远程办公及其强度降低了情绪耗竭，增加了情感承诺。此外，情感承诺作为一种中介机制，倾向于减少疲劳。然而，当远程办公伴随着过多的创造性需求和缺乏对员工资源的评估时，会逐渐导致员工的疲惫。最后，工作日的延长减少了情感承诺，增加了情感疲惫。研究局限/启示:部门研究减少了结果的泛化。此外，横向性限制了变量间时间关系的准确性。实践启示:发展时间管理技能是远程办公的关键。此外，设定合理的学习期限将减少可能的情绪疲惫。最后，领导力在数字断绝政策中发挥着基本作用。社会影响:远程办公巩固了工作与家庭的轴心，使性别平等，这一观念对于公司在可持续发展的同时提供幸福感至关重要。原创性/价值:这项研究将对哥伦比亚电力部门的即时决策产生影响。此外，它对其他工业领域也很有用。

期刊介绍： The aim of Intangible Capital is to publish theoretical and empirical articles that contribute to contrast, extend and build theories that contribute to advance our understanding of phenomena related with management, and the management of intangibles, in organizations, from the perspectives of strategic management, human resource management, psychology, education, IT, supply chain management and accounting. The scientific research in management is grounded on theories developed from perspectives taken from a diversity of social sciences. Intangible Capital is open to publish articles that, from sociology, psychology, economics and industrial organization contribute to the scientific development of management and organizational science. Intangible Capital publishes scholar articles that contribute to contrast existing theories, or to build new theoretical approaches. The contributions can adopt confirmatory (quantitative) or explanatory (mainly qualitative) methodological approaches. Theoretical essays that enhance the building or extension of theoretical approaches are also welcome. Intangible Capital selects the articles to be published with a double bind, peer review system, following the practices of good scholarly journals. Intangible Capital publishes three regular issues per year following an open access policy. On-line publication allows to reduce publishing costs, and to make more agile the process of reviewing and edition. Intangible Capital defends that open access publishing fosters the advance of scientific knowledge, making it available to everyone. Intangible Capital publishes articles in English, Spanish and Catalan.
