“…Surely, this crisis has exposed the weakness of overstrained, globally spreadout, just-in-time supply chain businesses (Salmi et al, 2020). Nevertheless, evidence also reveals that the resilient and surviving businesses are those that strategically formulate and execute teleworking policies using the digital technologies (Karia & Asaari, 2016). Productivity can be improved through selfmanagement and enhancing ICT skills, investments in fast and reliable broadband for home offices, and automation across different sectors to deliver savings and time so workforce can be freed to refocus on delivering higher value.…”

“…After a number of decades of implementation and development, a wide range of studies have assessed the real impact teleworking has on our organizations and, particularly, on our everyday lives. For example, there has been a broad examination of how teleworking cuts the cost of investment in infrastructure, equipment, electricity and water [95].

Work–Life Balance, Organizations and Social Sustainability: Analyzing Female Telework in Spain

2020

The concept of work–life balance has recently established itself as a key component on route maps drawn up in the pursuit of social sustainability, both on a local scale, represented by individual organizations, and on a more general one, represented by global institutions such as the United Nations. Our article analyzes telework’s use as a political tool within organizations that either boost or hinder the development of social sustainability. Additionally, we propose the notion of “life sustainability” to analyze how female teleworkers describe the link between specific work cultures and the possibility of fulfilling social sustainability goals in local work environments through the achievement of a good work–life balance. Our research was performed following a qualitative approach, drawing from a sample of 24 individual interviews and 10 focus groups with a total of 48 participants, all of which are female teleworkers with family responsibilities. Our main findings allow us to summarize the interviewees’ social perceptions into two categories, which we have dubbed ‘life sustainability ecologies’ and ‘presence-based ecologies’. We conclude by discussing female teleworkers’ claim that work–life balance is directly linked to social sustainability and that the latter goal will remain out of reach as long as the issue of balance goes unresolved.
