The present study examined the relationship between the intensity of home-based telework and work engagement.
This cross-sectional study using a self-administrated questionnaire survey was conducted from December 22 to 25, 2020, in Japan. The subjects were asked single-item questions about the intensity of telework and three-item questions about work engagement using the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. Coefficients were estimated using a multilevel regression model nested by the prefecture of residence and adjusted for covariates.
High-intensity (4 or more days per week) telework was not associated with high work engagement for men or women. In contrast, low and moderate intensity (3 days per week to once per month) were associated with high work engagement. The results were consistent when stratified by sex.
Reasonable-intensity telework may have beneficial effects on work engagement.
本研究旨在探讨居家远程办公强度与工作投入之间的关系。
本横断面研究于 2020 年 12 月 22 日至 25 日在日本采用自填式问卷调查进行。调查对象使用乌得勒支工作投入量表回答了关于远程办公强度的单项问题和关于工作投入的三个项目的问题。使用多层回归模型，根据居住地的县进行嵌套，并对协变量进行调整，以估计系数。
高强度（每周 4 天或以上）的远程办公与男性或女性的高工作投入无关。相比之下，低强度和中强度（每周 3 天至每月 1 次）与高工作投入相关。按性别分层时，结果一致。
合理强度的远程办公可能对工作投入有积极影响。
