This study investigates the relationship of living environment factors with satisfaction, work engagement, perceived productivity, and stress among teleworkers.
Given the increase in telecommuting since the onset of the pandemic, the study aims to identify how to create an optimum environment for telecommuting workers.
By examining the relationships among these factors multiple regression analysis, a comprehensive investigation of the telecommuting working environment is conducted, encompassing physical aspects and facilities as well as lifestyle rhythms and relationships with housemates. In doing so, the author identifies measures to create a more favorable living environment. The work environment of remote workers is examined from various perspectives using the framework of the SHEL model: Software (work content, lifestyle, .), Hardware (furniture, equipment, .), Environment (indoor environment), and Liveware (relationships with family members who reside with the worker).
The results suggest that positive factors, such as satisfaction and work engagement, are strongly influenced by the degree of job autonomy and the availability of a workspace dedicated to personal use. Negative aspects, such as stress, are significantly impacted by environmental noise, interruptions due to household tasks, and the use of ergonomic furniture.
本研究调查了生活环境因素与远程办公者的满意度、工作投入度、感知生产力和压力之间的关系。
鉴于大流行以来远程办公的增加，本研究旨在确定如何为远程办公者创造一个最佳的环境。
通过检查这些因素之间的关系，采用多元回归分析，对远程办公工作环境进行了全面调查，包括物理方面和设施以及生活节奏以及与室友的关系。通过这样做，作者确定了创造更有利的生活环境的措施。使用 SHEL 模型（软件（工作内容、生活方式等）、硬件（家具、设备等）、环境（室内环境）和 Liveware（与居住在工人家中的家庭成员的关系）从各个角度研究了远程工作者的工作环境。
结果表明，积极因素，如满意度和工作投入度，受到工作自主权程度和专用个人工作空间可用性的强烈影响。消极方面，如压力，受到环境噪声、因家务而中断以及使用符合人体工程学的家具的显著影响。
