Flexibilidad y teletrabajo: un estudio bibliométrico sobre la producción científica

Abstract

Este artículo tiene como objetivo estudiar y analizar un conjunto de autores, periódicos y palabras clave que se relacionan a flexibilidad y teletrabajo. Para ello, se aplicó la metodología de revisión sistemática de la literatura en cuatro bases de datos científicas, proceso que identificó 80 estudios sobre el tema buscado. Los resultados muestran que las investigaciones más relevantes, de acuerdo con el número de citaciones, son de países anglosajones (EE.UU., Canadá y Reino Unido, respectivamente), que hay poca investigación en colaboración internacional y que los trabajos más citados tienen como enfoque las características de los teletrabajadores y el impacto del teletrabajo en la conciliación personal y profesional.Palabras clave: Flexibilidad; Teletrabajo; Levantamiento bibliográfico.Flexibility and telework: a study about scientific production analysis.This article aims to collecting and analyzing a set of authors, journals and keywords that relate issues flexibility and telework. For this, we applied the methodology of systematic literature review in four scientific databases, process that identified 80 studies on the topic searched.

Telework: conditions that have a positive and negative impact on the work-family conflict

“…Lastly, it is important to emphasize that publications and research on telework in Latin America are scarce. A systematic review of literature related to telework and work flexibility in four scientific databases carried out by Da Silva (2014) found that almost all publications come from Anglo-Saxon countries. However, this does not mean that the issue has gone unnoticed.…”

(Tele)Work and Care during Lockdown: Labour and Socio-Familial Restructuring in Times of COVID-19

“…Undoubtedly, the work-life balance challenge has become a central issue in this pandemic, both in relation to caring for dependents and, in a broader sense, to work-life balance and work-life separation. In the case of teleworking, although the literature has outlined its advantages for work-life balance [28], the difficulties created by the permeability between work and family life [34], family interference [31] and family disputes caused by poor delimitation of spaces [32,33] were salient in an emergency context where workers had to exercise care-giving tasks without the support available in a normal situation (Study 1). In fact, results of Study 2 also showed that workers with care responsibilities expressed greater difficulties in balancing work with family and family with work.…”

“…Thus, people who telework regularly tend to experience low work-family conflict [31,32]. Even so, several studies point out the difficulties created by the lack of separation or permeability between work and family life, reporting family disputes caused by poor boundaries (referring to both work-family and family-work conflict) [32][33][34]. The difficulties in carrying out work because of family interference are also highlighted, in the particular context of family-work conflict.…”

Job happiness: influence of work flexibility through work-life balance and gender moderation

“…Research on WF has focused on flexibility in work location, work schedules or forms of communication (Demerouti et al, 2014;Ray and Pana-Cryan, 2021), and even wage and functional flexibility (ILO, 2022). This flexibility can be achieved by mutual agreements between the worker and the company based on trust and years of work, but in some cases, it is motivated by the design of the workplace, such as the consideration of telework (Da Silva, 2014;Karkuzashvili, 2021), as employees can change the location and reconcile their family life activities with work.…”
