Impact of Telecommuting on Work Motivation with Reference to It Industry

Abstract

Telecommuting, work-life balance, work motivation, and work environment are four of today's most compelling concepts for improving performance and gaining a strategic competitive advantage. The study looked into the role of work-life balance through mediating telecommuting, as well as the effect of workplace environment on motivation. The descriptive correlation method was employed. After administering a structured questionnaire to 308 work-from-home employees in India's information technology industry, the study used structural equation modeling to evaluate the results. Telecommuting has no direct effect on work motivation, according to the findings of this study. Telecommuting has a significant impact on work-life balance, which in turn has a significant impact on work motivation. The work environment has a significant impact on the relationship between telecommuting and job motivation. Further research could look into the implementation mechanism for telecommuting as part of an innovation culture for long-term human resource development in India's new normal.
