AI Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic led to a rise in telework, prompting research on its effects on employee work engagement.
- Data from 304 employees indicated a curvilinear relationship: moderate telework intensity resulted in the highest work engagement.
- Self-control was identified as a mediator in this relationship, and long-term physical exercise enhanced the positive effects of telework on self-control, ultimately boosting work engagement.
Article Abstract
The sudden COVID-19 crisis disrupted people's pace of life. Meanwhile, telework has gradually attracted public attention and become a regular mechanism for organizations. In this context, self-regulation theory was utilized to explore the impact of telework intensity on work engagement. Data were collected from 304 employees across three time points, and the results supported a curvilinear relationship between telework intensity and work engagement. Specifically, it was discovered that employees exhibited the highest levels of work engagement at moderate levels of telework intensity. Additionally, based on the strength model of self-control, the research identified self-control as playing a mediating role between telework intensity and work engagement. Finally, the study revealed that the duration of physical exercise moderated the relationship between telework intensity and self-control. Long-term physical exercise was found to prolong and enhance the positive effects of telework intensity on self-control, thereby boosting employee work engagement. This study provided unique and valuable insights into maintaining employee engagement in telework.

Advantage of remote workstation and job performance: the impact of worktime autonomy and remote work intensity.

Grounded on the Affective Event Theory and the Quality of Telework Model, this cross-sectional study examined the impact of perceived advantage of remote workstation on remote work performance and if this relationship is mediated through remote work intensity and moderated by worktime autonomy. The perceived advantage of remote workstation was operationalised as the arithmetical difference between perceived home office and in-site office workstation quality. A sample of 349 Italian researchers involved in hybrid work arrangements completed an online questionnaire.

Background: The association of working from home (WFH) with physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) has been explored; however, this association during periods without stringent measures to combat coronavirus disease 2019 is undercharacterized. Particularly, few studies have evaluated the potential effect modification on its associations. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the associations of WFH frequency with accelerometer-measured PA and SB, along with its effect modifiers, among Japanese white-collar workers during the later pandemic period.

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD) pose a significant occupational health challenge in Europe. The digitization of the economy substantially reshaped the nature and organization of work. The proliferation of hybrid working, characterized by a combination of office-based and remote work, has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
