The Empty Office: an International Study of Teleworking

Ref. 20940

  

Méthodes

Méthode de collecte

The research is conceived as a sequential mixed-­method design. First, the quantitative data collection has been administered with an online questionnaire to gather information on telework modalities, health and well-­being markers, and data on personal networks collected by a name generator. A qualitative module, administered one year later, will consist of in-­depth interviews with a subsample (n=32) of teleworkers selected for delving narratively into the mechanisms identified with the quantitative analyses.

Modes de collecte

Univers de référence, unité de recherche

Our target is the active population (+18) in occupational sectors with a high degree of teleworking rates (e.g., finance, information and communication, technology, education).

Sélection ou échantillonnage

A stratified random sampling by age and gender, with booster quotas of ‘full-time’, ‘hybrids’ and ‘in-­presence’ workers, has been put in place to recruit 4´400 workers in Switzerland, Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands (n=1'100 per country).
