20 years of research finds telecommuting benefits everyone
An analysis of 20 years of studies has found that telecommuting has a "clear upside" and a positive impact on performance, turnover and stress. Penn State researchers Ravi Gajendran and David Harrison looked at 46 studies involving more than 12,000 employees. Their report divided the telecommuting experience into three themes: psychological control or perceived autonomy, telework’s effect on the work-family relationship, and the potential for damage to relationships at work. They found that autonomy and control over how the work was done was a major factor in increasing worker satisfaction. That sense of increased autonomy may have been at least partly responsible for the increased performance, decreased stress and lack of interest in quitting. Telework also improved work-family balance, helping workers manage the often conflicting demands of work and home lives. Women remote workers actually found they received higher performance ratings and their career prospects improved rather than worsened. Relationships with managers and co-workers didn’t suffer as long as employees worked away from the office fewer than three days a week. The report is called, "The Good, the Bad and the Unknown About Telecommuting."
