A mixed-method of the happy-productive: wellbeing and performance patterns of remote workers in Brazil
View abstract on PubMed
Summary
This summary is machine-generated.This study explored job wellbeing and performance in remote workers, identifying four patterns: 9-to-5, entrenched, engaged, and burned-out. High performance was linked to remote work challenges like adaptability and trade-offs.
Area Of Science
- Organizational Psychology
- Remote Work Studies
- Human Resources Management
Background
- Understanding the interplay between employee wellbeing and job performance is crucial in modern workplaces.
- Remote work presents unique challenges and opportunities affecting both wellbeing and performance.
- Previous research has not fully elucidated the nuanced relationships within diverse remote work contexts.
Purpose Of The Study
- To investigate the relationship between job wellbeing and job performance among remote workers.
- To identify distinct patterns or clusters emerging from this relationship.
- To explore how specific remote work challenges correlate with these identified patterns.
Main Methods
- A mixed-method approach was employed, utilizing open-ended questions to gather qualitative data.
- The study analyzed data from 297 remote workers in Brazil.
- Cluster analysis was used to identify patterns in the relationship between job wellbeing and performance.
Main Results
- Four distinct clusters were identified: 9-to-5, entrenched, engaged, and burned-out.
- High-performance clusters demonstrated a relationship with remote work issues.
- Transversal issues like trade-offs and adaptability affected all groups, while social exchange and resource availability varied by cluster.
Conclusions
- Job wellbeing and performance in remote work are not monolithic, forming identifiable patterns.
- Addressing remote work challenges like adaptability and work-life balance is key for high performance.
- Tailored support considering factors like social exchange and resource availability is necessary for different remote worker profiles.

As a system undergoes a change, its internal energy can change, and energy can be transferred from the system to the surroundings, or from the surroundings to the system.
Energy transfer occurs through heat and work. The relationship between internal energy, heat, and work is represented by the equation:
While heat is a function of an observed temperature change, work is a function of an observed volume change called the pressure-volume work. Work (w) can be defined as a force (F) acting...
The principle of virtual work states that if a body is in static and dynamic equilibrium, then the sum of all the virtual work done by all external forces and couple moments for any given virtual displacement must be zero.
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...
