“…This study indicated that concerns are grouped under the dimensions of perceived employee barrier, intense technology barrier, working life and work-life balance. Data and technology issues [72], effective communication [67], social interactions and isolation [71], work-related stress [65,68], overworking [67,70,72], family life [74], and video conference fatigue [75,76]-all of which are identified in the literature as cons of working remotely-overlap with the concerns about online meeting tools in this study. In a study [38] investigating the impact of social isolation, technostress, and personality on users' acceptance of online meeting platforms, the similarity of technostress to the intense technology barrier in our study, and the proximity of the social isolation variable to the adaptation to change variable in our study are significant.…”

“…The first step in the quantitative instrument development process was the generation of an item pool. In order to select the best possible items, the items obtained as a result of the coding performed in the qualitative research and the item styles of the technology acceptance models in the literature were used [65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76]. At the end of this step, a pool of 66 items was generated.…”

This study explores the utilization of online meeting tools in remote or hybrid work environments. The main research question is: “How do Turkish employees’ expectations and concerns regarding the use of online meeting tools influence their intention to use these tools”. To achieve the study’s objectives, it is essential to ascertain the expectations and concerns of employees in Turkey regarding the use of online meeting tools. Subsequently, it is crucial to determine the extent to which these factors influence the intention to use them. Accordingly, a mixed methods research approach was deemed appropriate for this study. To validate the extended technology acceptance model (TAM) proposed as a result of the qualitative phase, the relationships in the model will be tested and interpreted with structural equation modeling (SEM) through the data set to be obtained quantitatively. Expectations (employee–employee interaction, technological contribution, and adaptation to social and organizational changes) regarding the use of online meeting tools have a considerable and statistically significant influence on employees’ intention to use them through perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. This research is expected to advance the theory, methodology, and practice of online meeting tools’ acceptance, which are widely used in business.

“…Another practical implication is related to the development of policies and organizational practices capable of facilitating and promoting a supportive environment, while enhancing the work-from-home experience. This may include the development of specific teleworking support and assistance (Vayre et al 2022b), and human resources policies that stimulate the sense of purpose and belonging (Nakrošien ė et al 2019;De Vries et al 2018). Supportive environments create the conditions for greater social and organizational connectedness, which, in turn, contributes to well-being (Brown and Leite 2023).…”

Work–Life Balance and Work from Home Experience: Perceived Organizational Support and Resilience of European Workers during COVID-19

During the COVID-19 pandemic, most workers had to work from home due to the successive lockdowns across European countries. This constraint posed significant challenges to many workers and companies regarding working conditions and work–life balance. Framed by the job demands–resources model (JD–R), the goal of this paper is to examine the association of perceived organizational support (POS) and individual resilience (IR) with work–life balance (WLB) during the COVID-19 pandemic across European countries. This goal is complemented by assessing the role of work-from-home (WFH) as a mediator. Based on a quantitative approach, data were extracted from the second round of the survey “Living, Working, and COVID-19” from Eurofound. A series of regressions using SEM-PLS tested the hypothesis. Findings reveal that WFH negatively influences WLB. POS positively influences WFH and negatively influences WLB when mediated by WFH. IR negatively influences WFH and positively influences WLB when mediated by WFH. These results have essential theoretical implications related to the relations between individual and organizational resources and WLB and practical implications for the management of WFH, namely, the importance of providing adequate organizational resources and promoting the development of individual resources.

“…This involves the development of a genuine company teleworking policy, the creation of spaces for dialogue about the conditions regarding the deployment of teleworking, the development of formal support systems for teleworkers, an evolution of managerial practices, and the redefining of the processes used for evaluating efficiency, performance and commitment [26,54]. Several authors have emphasized the need for organizations to develop concrete teleworking support and assistance policies, and the importance of establishing a climate of fairness and of non-discrimination in terms of possibilities for promotion and career advancement and in terms of work schedules, work duration, and the conditions for adequately performing professional activities [20,54]. In addition, companies would benefit from implementing human resource policies that strengthen the inclusion, identification and sense of belonging of teleworkers.…”

Benefits and Risks of Teleworking from Home: The Teleworkers’ Point of View

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Using a qualitative research-based approach, this study aimed to understand (i) the way home-based teleworkers in France perceive and organize their professional activities and workspaces, (ii) their teleworking conditions, (iii) the way they characterize the modalities and the nature of their interactions with their professional circle, and more broadly (iv) their quality of life ‘at work’. We performed a lexical and morphosyntactic analysis of interviews conducted with 28 teleworkers (working part-time or full-time from home) before the COVID-19 crisis and the associated establishment of emergency telework. Our results confirm and complement findings in the literature. Participant discourses underlined the beneficial effects of teleworking in terms of professional autonomy, flexibility, concentration, efficiency, performance, productivity, and being able to balance their professional and private lives. Nevertheless, they also highlighted the deleterious effects of teleworking on temporal workload, setting boundaries for work, work-based relationships and socio-professional integration. Despite the study limitations, our findings highlight the need for specific research-based and practical strategies to support the implementation of a sustainable telework organization in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era.
