Les espaces de coworking, une alternative crédible au domicile comme lieu de télétravail ? Premiers éléments issus d’une enquête exploratoire par entretiens

Abstract

This exploratory study aimed at identifying which factors affect employees’ intention to use a coworking space as a place to telework. Twenty individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with employees who telework on a regular basis, including eight coworking space users. The analysis of the interviews shows that the participants perceive the opportunity to meet new people, to gain productivity and to have access to a better working comfort as a major benefit of teleworking in a coworking space compared to teleworking at home. However, the cost of the membership and the concern about increased commuting time were found to be factors that strongly impacted participants’ intention to use a coworking space as a telework location.
