Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to investigate how employees view telework as a tool for improving professional performance and family balance. According to the findings, teleworking and family balance improve professional success. “Is telework an aspect that leverages professional success and family balance?” was the research question. It was feasible to test and verify the effects of perceived teleworking on professional performance and family balance through teams and organizations. This conceptual study covers fundamentals of teleworking, the benefits and drawbacks, as well as the impact on professional performance and family balance. The literature review entails a thorough examination of papers from major scientific databases (e.g., Scopus, WoS). Quantitative methods are applied in the field approach (2020-2021). A survey was created and distributed through social media platforms to collect data (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn). The findings show a favourable association between the variables studied, as well as a good employee opinion of the impact of increased autonomy on telework performance.
