A systemic approach to interpersonal relationships and activities among French teleworkers

Abstract: Within a systemic and interactional approach, this study seeks to understand how French teleworkers (re)organise their relationships with others as well as their activities. Lexical analysis of interviews with 24 telecommuters (nomadic, alternating and working at home full‐time) confirms and complements the results in the literature in this field. On one hand, the findings confirmed a decline in the quality of professional relationships due to their being mediated through technology. On the other hand, there w… Show more

“…Our results leave several questions unanswered, such as what actually happens when employees work from home, including how they interact with employees at the office and with each other (Vayre and Pignault, ). In this paper, we focused deliberately on co‐workers working from home as a first step towards introducing the co‐worker as an important understudied factor in this type of research.…”

“…The impact of co‐workers remained hidden in past studies because their focus was restricted to the individual worker (Avery and Zabel, ) or to the organisation as a whole (Martínez Sánchez et al , ), omitting the interplay between the individuals and their social environment within the context of their work. Studies of organisational behaviour are highlighting that the growing interdependence and complexity of tasks necessitates an analysis of how co‐workers influence organisational behaviour and outcomes (Chiaburu and Harrison, ; Vayre and Pignault, ).…”

“…However, high‐intensity teleworking is likely to result in a greater reliance on ICT's for communication with colleagues and less face‐to‐face interaction (Lal and Dwivedi, ). Whilst ICT's may enable interaction and collaboration with colleagues, they lack the warmth of face‐to‐face interactions which are seen as vital for developing closer social relationships (Vayre and Pignault, ). Thus, teleworkers may also try to counteract feelings of isolation by actively seeking out face‐to‐face interactions with co‐workers (Golden et al ., ).…”

“…A relação interpessoal é parte de um sistema de relações com diferentes níveis de complexidade que influenciam e modificam ainda mais a estrutura sociocultural e o ambiente físico de todos os envolvidos (HINDE,1996;VAYRE;PIGNAULT, 2014). A pessoa integrada às transformações sociais passa por mudanças em sua identidade pessoal, dentro de um processo histórico e cultural.…”
