“…Until now, a gap in knowledge existed concerning the role of perceived privacy regarding to WFH, and little was known about the levels and differences in perceived privacy between home-based teleworkers. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, telework was recognized as an attractive addition to workplaces 3 , 4 ) .…”

Working from home: Cognitive irritation as mediator of the link between perceived privacy and sleep problems

2021

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, many employees have been required to work full- or part-time at home. This paper investigates the impact of perceived privacy on cognitive irritation and sleep problems among employees who worked from home during the pandemic. Additionally, we analyzed the role of cognitive irritation as a mediator between privacy and sleep problems. We created a cross-sectional questionnaire, which was completed by 293 employees who performed home-based telework in German-speaking Switzerland. A mediation analysis was then conducted using a multiple regression analysis. A test of the indirect effect showed a significant mediation path from perceived privacy via cognitive irritation to sleep problems. Hence, the negative indirect effect indicates that perceived privacy is an important job resource that may prevent sleep problems. Further research is needed regarding home-based telework and recovery strategies to prevent sleep problems.

However, little research exists regarding working conditions in home-based offices 9 ) .…”

“…On the other hand, compared to …rms that allow remote work, abandonment of RW is more likely for …rms with lower levels of sales, sales growth, capital and worker skills. 16 As expected, the matching procedure leads to a considerable reduction in the size of our sample, which implies that the subsequently derived results should be interpreted with some caution. We are able to successfully match 140 …rms that change RW policy during the period of observation.…”

“…A more recent review of the telework literature concluded that a long‐term research agenda and sustainable framework is needed that incorporates government policy, technology, and management (Blount, ). Hence, telework research has focused primarily on productivity, but there is a lack of research literature examining its impact on personal or household economic indicators – and minimal associated policy‐oriented work.…”

Telework, or telecommuting, is gaining increasing attention at the national level. However, the impact it has on local economies is not well understood. Theoretically, teleworking may result in higher levels of worker satisfaction and productivity, which in turn leads to increased income levels. In an effort to contribute to this important topic, this paper analyses census‐tract level work from home statistics from the 2011–2015 American Community Survey. Results from a maximum likelihood regression using a spatial Durbin error model (SDEM) indicate that after controlling for various factors such as employment by industry, educational attainment, and broadband availability, the percentage of residents working from home in both salaried and self‐employed jobs had a positive and significant impact on median household income. Importantly, spillovers from levels of telework in neighbouring communities are also shown to exist, although the direction of impact differs by worker category. The implications of this research support the need to modify current economic and workforce development policies to better nurture, attract, and retain teleworkers. A series of policy recommendations are discussed to help jumpstart this process.
