“…The scenario of the last twenty years, characterized by major environmental issues such as pollution [41], climate change [42] and energy consumption [43], further emphasizes the need to adopt teleworking. Teleworking can offer a way to improve environmental sustainability by reducing daily travel and congestion problems, as well as leading to reduced travel demand and consequently economy-wide energy consumption [44,45]; therefore, according to mainstream studies, telework arrangements could support sustainable development policies through the transition from man's automobile dependency to sustainable travel and the reduction of electricity in the workplace [1][2][3].…”

“…It is widely accepted that well-designed telework arrangements can support development policies aimed at shifting from automobile dependency to sustainable travel and at reducing electricity in the workplace [1][2][3]. This means that teleworking has some potential to reduce energy consumption and associated emissions both in terms of reducing commuter travel and displacing office-related energy consumption.…”

Due to the spread of COVID-19, new challenges and opportunities for business innovation have emerged, including the way work is organized and designed. In particular, pandemic created the conditions for the most extensive mass teleworking experiment in history. While there is a wide literature on the effects of teleworking as a business innovation, mainly from an environmental perspective, there are few studies investigating the public perceptions regarding teleworking and, in particular, studies that draw from social media analyses. Based on these considerations, a big data analysis has been carried out in order to frame the public perceptions about teleworking on Twitter. The six-months sentiment analysis of about 11,000 tweets shows that the ecological value of telework is not perceived by people; surprisingly, in a pandemic context of growing ecological concern, there is no significant evidence of environmental awareness in relation to teleworking. However, the positive and negative concepts which emerge in relation to teleworking and similar terms can be assimilated to the benefits and pitfalls highlighted in the literature, which are related to economic or social sustainability. This has important implications for practice in organizations employing teleworking, which are highlighted in the conclusion, together with the limitations and future research avenues.

“…Reduce natural resource use (12.2): Telework is widely assumed to reduce the environmental impact and resource use of our societies [47,147], but Heinonen and Kuosa argued that this benefit is not automatic, and rather telework needs to be designed to provide environmental benefits [146]. The association between telework and environmental sustainability depends on non-linear and dependent on context [148] and car-dependence can in some circumstances be maintained in teleworking households [149]. Also, during lockdowns in response to COVID-19, considered to be an extreme case of teleworking practices, residential water demand increased by 18% in Germany [168] and by 20% in the UK [169].…”

With increased participation in telework expected to continue, to support emerging hybrid work models in the aftermath of the Covid-19, it is important to consider the long-term impact this practice could have on sustainability outcomes. This paper describes a systematic review of 113 academic journal articles and identifies associations between telework and sustainability, explored by previous researchers. Those associations were categorized and discussed, based on their contributions to different United Nations Social Development Goals. Most of research was found to focus on countries classified as having a very high human development index status, and regions with a low, medium or high human development index, largely ignored. The SWOT matrix technique was used to illustrate the strengths and weaknesses identified in the current literature as well as threats and opportunities for future work. This can help to ensure policy coherence and that strategies to promote one outcome, such as economic productivity improvements, does not undermine another, such as improved health. Practical implications and potential research opportunities were identified across a range of SDG impact areas, including good health and well-being, gender equality, reduced inequality, climate mitigation, sustainable cities and resilient communities. On the whole, our impression is that increased rates of telework present an important opportunity to improve sustainability outcomes, however, it will be important that integrated and holistic policy is developed that mitigates key risks.

“…Disisi lain, tidak hanya produktivitas yang menunjukan tren positif atas adanya sistem kerja baru ini, terdapat beberapa aspek yang menunjukan bahwa penerapan Work From Home merupakan salah satu alternatif solusi yang tepat dan efektif dalam memecahkan masalah sistem kerja selama pandemi. Karena dalam hal ini penerapan Work From Home dinilai memberikan kebebasan dalam mengatur pola aktivitas sehari-hari berdasarkan kebutuhan individu (Wang & Ozbilen, 2020). Kebebasan inilah yang menjadi menjadi keuntungan bagi banyak orang dengan potensinya untuk meningkatkan fleksibilitas dan keseimbangan kehidupan kerja (Mallett et al, 2020).…”

Pandemi Covis-19 menjadi tantangan tersendiri bagi pemerintah dalam menentukan arah kebijakan yang berkenaan dengan sistem kerja pegawai, dalam hal ini khususnya Aparatur Sipil Negara (ASN). Paradigma baru dibangun untuk menciptakan budaya kerja yang lebih fleksibel dan adaptif terhadap situasi krisis. Kebijakan Flexible Working Arrangement (FWA) melalui Work From Home (WFH) dan Flexy time menjadi alternatif kebijakan menyikapi hal tersebut. Penulisan ini menggunakan metode Systematic Review dengan Logika Boolean melalui logika "AND" sebagai dasar pencarian jurnal internasional dibeberapa database yang telah dipilih melalui serangkaian prosedur. Dalam pelaksanaanya FWA memiliki beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi seperti gender, infrastruktur dan teknologi, kepemimpinan dan manajerial, kebijakan, serta jenis pekerjaan dan jabatan. Adapun hasilnya menunjukan bahwa penerapan FWA mengalami tren positif dengan antusias tinggi dibarengi dengan tingkat produktivitas tinggi melalui sistem kerja yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan. Selain itu, terlihat pula manfaat lain dibeberapa aspek yang berhubungan dengan efisiensi, gender, budaya, teknologi, dan transportasi. Namun perlu diperhatikan juga bahwa terdapat beberapa hambatan yang muncul dalam pelaksanaan FWA ini seperti hubungan antara kesiapan teknologi dari instansi dan pegawai, sulitnya pengukuran produktivitas, peran antara kewajiban kantor dan kegiatan rumah tangga, serta masalah psikologis bagi pegawai. Dan pada akhirnya, apabila FWA memang dilakukan dan diterapkan secara optimal akan mendapatkan hasil yang efektif.
