Article - Co-workers working from home and individual and team performance Vol. 35, No. 1 Halaman: 60–81
The number of firms supporting work from home has risen
dramatically as advances in communication technology have
fundamentally transformed the way humans cooperate. A
growing literature addresses working from home, but focuses
only on individual workers, overlooking potential influence
of co?worker engagement. Our aim is to study the influence of
co?workers working from home on individual and team perfor-
mance. We use unique data from a large?scale survey involv-
ing nine European countries, 259 establishments, 869 teams
and 11,011 employees to show that the impact of working from
home by co?workers on performance is considerable and has re-
mained hidden in past studies because they did not account for
co?worker effects. While working from home may be useful for
some workers, it does bring issues for them as well. Specifical-
ly, we demonstrate that co?workers working from home nega-
tively impact employee performance. Moreover, team perfor-
mance is worse when more co?workers are working from home.
