为了削减成本和提高员工士气，越来越多的公司转向远程办公。然而，关于在办公室外工作对生产力的影响的报告仍然存在，这直接影响到公司的底线。本研究采用实验方法探讨了这些争议。创造性和枯燥的个人任务被用来模拟两种极端的工作气候。本研究结果显示，远距工作的环境效应可能对创造性工作的生产力有正面影响，但对单调工作的生产力则有负面影响。(C)2012爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
In an effort to cut costs and improve worker morale, corporations are increasingly turning to telecommuting. Conflicting reports exist though on the effects that working outside the office has on productivity which directly affects a company's bottom line. This study explores these controversies using an experimental approach. Creative and dull individual tasks were used to mimic two extreme work climates. Results of this study indicate that the telecommuting environmental effects may have positive implications on productivity of creative tasks but negative implications on productivity of dull tasks.
