“…Recent studies reveal that teleworkers can be categorized based on various aspects of teleworking such as working preference (Appel-Meulenbroek et al, 2022), the quality of teleworking experiences (Miglioretti et al, 2023), work-home boundary management (Urbanavi ci ut_ e et al, 2023) and pre-pandemic commuting behaviors (Tao et al, 2023). These studies suggest diversity in teleworking experiences, conditions and preferences among teleworker profiles.…”

“…Issues such as whether or not teleworkers want to return to the office after the lockdowns (Appel-Meulenbroek et al, 2022) would not have arisen if not for the pandemic. The interest in investigating differences between teleworkers during the pandemic is also manifested in the study by Tao et al (2023), who found that the benefits of teleworking on subjective well-being depended on the prepandemic commuting behaviors of each teleworker.…”

PurposePrevious research has focused on the outcomes of telework, investigating the advantages and disadvantages of teleworking for employees. However, these investigations do not examine whether there are differences between teleworkers when evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of teleworking. The aim of this study is to identify of distinct classes of teleworkers based on the advantages and disadvantages that teleworking has for them.Design/methodology/approachThis study used secondary survey data collected by the Spanish National Statistics Institute (INE). A sample of 842 people was used for this study. To identify the distinct classes of teleworkers, their perceived advantages and disadvantages of teleworking were analyzed using latent class analysis.FindingsThree different classes of teleworkers were distinguished. Furthermore, sociodemographic covariates were incorporated into the latent class model, revealing that the composition of the classes varied in terms of education level, household income, and the amount of time spent on teleworking per week. This study also examined the influence of these emergent classes on employees’ experience of teleworking.Originality/valueThis study contributes to previous research investigating if telework is advantageous or disadvantageous for teleworkers, acknowledging that teleworkers are not identical and may respond differently to teleworking.

“…Since then, an increased interest in this topic has been registered, mostly considering the beneficial health effects (Ek et al, 2021). With the diffusion of Covid-19, literature on such issue has proliferated, also insisting on the benefits against the diffusion of the virus (Tao et al, 2023).…”

The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the travel behavior of commuters, with soft modes emerging as reliable options for short-distance trips. This research focuses on evaluating the bike-friendliness of Venice, Italy, a unique city for its morphological and mobility characteristics. When considering daily commuting between the mainland and the historic city center in the lagoon, the bicycle is not an adopted solution. Yet, the recent construction of a bicycle and pedestrian path that runs alongside the main bridge between the mainland and historical city could alleviate the pressure on public transport and the use of cars, especially in peak hours. This contribution evaluates the potential for using bicycles to reach the historic center of Venice from the mainland, and the appropriateness of the infrastructural equipment. The quantitative analysis examines the current supply and demand in absolute values and in terms of modal share. Projecting the number of actual users under different scenarios until 2030, in accordance with the Venice Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan and other relevant plans, the inadequate provision of parking areas for bikes emerges as an unsolved issue. A revision of the mobility layout is thus required if bicycles are expected to be a competitive alternative solution.

“…The outbreak of COVID-19 has significantly disrupted the daily behaviors of adolescents [ 1 , 6 ]. All these circumstances may lead to a decline in subjective well-being (SWB), and emerging literature that have explored SWB during the COVID-19 outbreak [ 8 – 12 ] indicated that the pandemic caused a negative impact on mental health [ 13 ]. Therefore, it becomes more important to highlight the transformation process of SWB during the COVID-19 outbreak for researchers to investigate mutual relationships between outcomes and antecedents of the exposure.…”

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak is a threat to adolescents’ mental health and livelihoods, and lowers their subjective well-being (SWB). Expanding on previous literatures, this study examined whether internet use time was related to SWB and whether this relationship was mediated by problematic internet use (PIU) and self-esteem during the COVID-19 outbreak. In Taiwan, the COVID-19 epidemic broke out in February, 2020. During March 2 to 27, this study recruited a total of 1,060 adolescents from junior high schools by both stratified and cluster sampling, and administered a comprehensive investigation. The results displayed that SWB was significantly and negatively predicted by internet use time. PIU fully mediated the relationship. Moreover, PIU predicted a decrease of self-esteem, which played a full mediation role between PIU and SWB. The results provide evidence in explaining how increased internet use time is associated with a greater level of PIU, which relates to lower self-esteem, correlating with lower SWB in adolescents. This study can provide reference to mental health organizations and educational agencies to design appropriate SWB promotion programs for the junior high school population in terms of epidemic prevention.
