Description
Eva Arino-Mateo and colleagues tracked telework in Spain from 2021 to 2022 in a 2026 study of 4606 teleworkers from national statistics. As emergency remote work settled into hybrid routines, the team asked whether people worked remotely more or less often, how they judged the experience, and what they actually wanted.
Remote days fell even as ratings of the experience improved, widening the gap between wanted and actual remote days, with younger and better-educated workers wanting the most. The paper frames telework as a negotiation between staff hopes and employer control, with stakes for motivation and well-being.
