We examined whether teleworking preference and frequency were associated with work functioning impairment.
This online cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire among 27,036 full-time Japanese workers. The Work Functioning Impairment Scale was used to measure work functioning impairment, and we performed multilevel logistic regression analysis.
Higher odds ratios for work functioning impairment were observed among employees who preferred to telework compared with those who preferred working in the workplace. A similar trend was observed among employees who teleworked four or more days a week compared with those who almost never teleworked. When teleworking preference and frequency were adjusted, only teleworking preference was associated with work functioning impairment.
A preference for teleworking was associated with work functioning impairment and one factor that increased the teleworking frequency.
我们研究了远程办公偏好和频率是否与工作功能障碍有关。
本在线横断面研究使用自我管理问卷在 27036 名全日式工作者中进行。使用工作功能障碍量表来衡量工作功能障碍,并进行多层次逻辑回归分析。
与喜欢在工作场所工作的员工相比,更喜欢远程办公的员工工作功能障碍的优势比更高。每周远程办公四天或以上的员工与几乎从不远程办公的员工相比,也出现了类似的趋势。当调整远程办公偏好和频率时,只有远程办公偏好与工作功能障碍有关。
远程办公偏好与工作功能障碍以及增加远程办公频率的一个因素有关。
