Record technostress and reduced well-being show that remote working isn’t as good as we thought

Up until a few months ago, many employers and government bodies had been extensively promoting the practice, albeit mainly for safety and security reasons.

Key Points: 
  • Up until a few months ago, many employers and government bodies had been extensively promoting the practice, albeit mainly for safety and security reasons.
  • Other upsides have been amply documented by both the media and academia: more time spent with loved ones, and reduced transportation costs, commuting time, and air pollution.

When technostress flares up

    • In our latest paper in the Journal of Business Research we looked at how our excessive reliance on technology in both our work and personal lives during the pandemic impacted our technostress levels.
    • To answer this question, we surveyed 306 British workers who were employed (mostly full-time) before and at the time of the survey, in July 2020.

Experienced remote workers suffered less

    • However, the study results also show that employees with previous remote working experience coped better with technostress than individuals with none.
    • Experienced remote workers also happened to better manage working applications and time at large.
    • But past a certain time, even experienced remote workers succumbed to stress and experience feelings of alienation.
    • A single remote worker aged 40 years old declared:
      “During the Covid-19 lockdown and after, my productivity has increased as I no longer have to commute to work, and I can’t have casual chats with colleagues in the office.

The problem of loneliness

    • A forced prolonged situation of working from home can alienate workers and create a sense of loneliness over time.
    • Indeed, remote working is associated with fewer face-to-face meetings, interpersonal communication, bonding, community building, and brainstorming, however fundamental the latter may be for innovative companies.
    • It appears that the working from home mode is not, after all, going to be the “new normal” in the post-pandemic world.
