Teleworking And Its Relationship With Organizational Commitment: An Analytical Review

With the advancement of technology and the emergence of new challenges in the work environment, teleworking has become increasingly prevalent in recent years. This paper examines its impact on employees' organizational commitment – that is, whether and how physical distance from the workplace affects their sense of belonging, motivation, and loyalty to the organization. High levels of organizational commitment are typically linked with higher levels of job satisfaction and greater organizational citizenship behavior, where employees voluntarily exceed job demands to contribute more to the organization's success. By analyzing what previous research has found, the paper examines the factors that can strengthen or weaken this commitment, including flexibility, trust, communication, and organizational culture. The paper also explores the advantages and challenges of teleworking, providing a clearer picture of how companies can utilize this work model without compromising their connection with employees. The conclusions may be helpful for managers as well as employees who want to understand better how to maintain or increase their commitment, regardless of their workplace.
