Telecommuters and office workers reported higher social support than remote workers. Telecommuters experienced less occupational stress and preferred remote work arrangements.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health Psychology
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Sociology of Work

Background:

  • The rise of remote work necessitates understanding its impact on employee well-being.
  • Occupational stress and social support are critical factors influencing job satisfaction and productivity.
  • Different work arrangements (telecommuting, working at home, office-based) may have varying effects on employees.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare occupational stress and social support levels across different work arrangements.
  • To investigate employee preferences for telecommuting versus traditional work settings.
  • To identify factors influencing the perception of social support in diverse work environments.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative survey assessing occupational stress and social support.

  • Participants included telecommuters (n=15), those working at home (n=9), and office workers (n=14).
  • Comparative analysis of stress and support scores based on work location.

    • Main Results:

    • Telecommuters and office workers perceived significantly more social support compared to those working exclusively at home.
    • Telecommuting employees reported lower levels of occupational stress.
    • A stronger preference for telecommuting was observed among participants in this work arrangement.

    Conclusions:

    • Telecommuting and traditional office settings may offer advantages in perceived social support.
    • Remote work, specifically telecommuting, is associated with reduced occupational stress.
    • Findings suggest telecommuting is a viable and preferred work option for many employees, positively impacting well-being.
