在商业世界的变化中，公司不断被迫通过审查其政策、流程、做法和工作程序来适应。在众多的工作实践中，远程工作是一个有争议的主题，值得更深入的研究。在此前提下，本文提出了以下研究问题：跨国公司远程工作项目可持续发展的关键因素是什么？本文旨在描述和远程工作者的观点，远程工作作为一种人力资源的做法，它的优点和缺点，以及使其成为一个战略导向的做法的挑战。本研究以一家跨国公司的实习生为对象，在远程工作项目中进行。通过对12名学员的深入访谈收集了数据，并借助NVivo 9软件进行了内容分析。该分析提供了关于计划参与者的七个类别。其中确定的优势是远程工作和学术活动之间的积极关系，提供的灵活性，以及作为个人工作目标的自主设置的结果专业发展。另一方面，工作时间、难以将个人生活从工作中解脱出来以及在组织内的能见度问题-这对职业发展很重要-被列为这种工作模式的主要困难。
Amidst the changes in the business world, companies are constantly forced to adapt by reviewing their policies, their processes and their practices and work routines. Among various working practices, teleworking is a controversial theme in management and worthy of more in-depth studies. Based on this premise, the following research question is proposed: What are the critical elements for telework programs’ sustainability in a multinational company? This article aims to describe and characterize teleworkers’ views regarding telework as a human resources practice, its advantages and disadvantages, as well as the challenge of making it a strategically oriented practice. A study was carried out in a telework program for interns of a multinational company. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with twelve trainees and examined through a content analysis with the aid of the software NVivo 9. The analysis provided seven categories regarding the percep¬tions of the program participants. Among advantages identified are the positive relationships between telework and academic activities, the flexibility provided, as well as professional development as a result of autonomous setting of individual working goals. On the other hand, the working hours, the difficulty of untying personal life from work and problems with visibility within the organization – which is important in terms of career advancement – were singled out as major difficulties of this work mode.
