How E-Working Is Effective in Education

Abstract

The study focuses on the critical observable determinants reflecting the benefits of e-working for academicians. It highlights the four core constructs—work-life balance, job effectiveness or performance, flexibility, employee relationship—and trust with the organization, which is of prime importance for a fruitful remote working in the current scenario. Empirical testing of the proposed research model was done by collecting data through online questionnaires from 230 academicians involved in online teaching. The study showed that in an e-working scenario, there is indeed a healthier work-life balance, and increased e-working results in improved efficiency or work productivity. The e-working model is quite new for the education sector, and the current study will help colleges and universities to understand and support the well-being of academicians working remotely and will also help the stakeholders of the education sector to frame the strategies keeping in mind the requirement of academicians.
