| Outline of Research at the Start |
This research will examine how social distancing and telework from home brought about by COVID-19 have transformed the traditional antecedents and outcomes of subjective well-being, of effective management of knowledge, and of job performance, and propose countermeasures.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
I examined how telework frequency has affected the usage of major communication media, and subsequently knowledge sharing, among a large sample of full-time Japanese employees with no prior telework experience. Mandatory telework resulted in lower use of face-to-face meetings and phone calls, in higher use of instant messaging and virtual meetings, and it had no effect on email use. Moreover, phone call, instant messaging, and virtual meeting frequencies were found to mediate the relationship between telework frequency and knowledge sharing. These findings highlight the importance of both existing and newer communication media in offsetting the loss of face-to-face meeting opportunities. Government-mandated telework may have accelerated the adoption of new communication tools.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
I was able to gather and analyze data quickly thanks to thorough preparation.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
The next step focuses on conducting a similar survey in the United States and/or France to undertake a country-based comparative analysis. In addition, gender-based differences and telework may be evaluated.
