Teleworking - Which tasks suit best? Using teleworkers’ work design to understand the relationship between work location and multiple performance outcomes KU Leuven
There are many reasons to expect that home-based telework will remain and make up a considerable part of contemporary labor. Whilst documented positive consequences for both employees (e.g. enhanced work-life balance) and organizations (e.g. lower turnover), practice and policy are still unsure about how to successfully manage teleworking such that it enhances employee performance and scientific research remains inconclusive about how ...

Labour market choices and well-being of individuals inside households: preferences, opportunities or traditional role patterns? KU Leuven
