| Title | An Integrated Approach of Assessing Teleworkers' Well-Being at the Policy Level through the Lens of Decent Work |
| Summary | The 21st century is the era of technology and its effect on the work environment has created “teleworking”. Workers’ well-being is a manifestation of “decent work”, a concept developed by the International Labour Organization (ILO) based on the respect for human dignity in all aspects of working life. This study explores the way teleworkers’ well-being is currently measured and assessed. To carry out the research, we analyzed the conceptual framework and data published by the ILO regarding decent work and well-being indicators, as well as teleworking research reports issued by the same organization. Furthermore, we reviewed several studies regarding teleworkers’ well-being, to identify key points to take into consideration when evaluating the goal of decent work in this type of work. This study concludes that the complexity of teleworkers’ well-being challenges the way it is currently measured by the existent decent work’ indicators, we present its limitations and a proposal for further development. Our aim is to contribute to the debate of how the current way of measuring decent work should extend its components and interpretation to the specific nature of teleworkers’ well-being and therefore formulate a comprehensive approach which can be utilized at the policy level. |
