| 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 Final Research Achievements |
This research delves into the impacts of COVID-19 on telework in Japan, examining job satisfaction, performance, and work-life balance. Positive reception to mandatory telework has sparked interest in its post-pandemic continuation, highlighting the value of a good home workspace, especially for women. Men's telework satisfaction links to job performance. Findings indicate no shift in gender roles but stress the importance of support for dual-career families.
Experienced teleworkers managed knowledge better, suggesting a blend of remote and in-office work optimizes knowledge management. Communication media usage shifted dramatically, with reduced face-to-face interactions and increased reliance on instant messaging and virtual meetings, underscoring the need for tools that support complex, interactive exchanges. These insights are vital for shaping future telework policies and practices.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
This research provides an integrated understanding of the multifaceted impacts of COVID-19 on teleworking dynamics within the Japanese workforce, such as gender roles, work-family conflict, communication practices, knowledge management, job satisfaction, and performance.
