Abstract

This paper examines the characteristics of remote work using a unique Japanese survey dataset that provides information on engagement in remote work together with the specific job tasks and human resource management (HRM) characteristics workers face. We show that the opportunity to work remotely was more likely to be available to those engaged in non-routine tasks as well as to workers subject to HRM practices presupposing that worker performance is measurable. The implications of these findings for income transfer policies and management practices in light of the COVID-19 pandemic are also discussed.

谁可以在家工作?工作任务和人力资源管理实践的角色

本文使用一个独特的日本调查数据集来研究远程工作的特征，该数据集提供了远程工作的参与信息，以及员工面临的具体工作任务和人力资源管理(HRM)特征。我们表明，远程工作的机会更有可能提供给那些从事非常规任务的人，以及那些受人力资源管理实践影响的员工，前提是他们的绩效是可衡量的。本文还讨论了这些发现对2019冠状病毒病大流行背景下的收入转移政策和管理实践的影响。
