Do employees in Turkey intend to telework after the pandemic?
Demet Özcan Biçici, Ayşe Özçelik
Most employees in Turkey have become familiar with teleworking during the pandemic. This study aims to find the Turkish employees' motivation and commitment levels regarding their intention to telework after the pandemic. The mixed method of research with an exploratory sequential strategy with QUAL → QUAN design was used to explore and explain the motivation and commitment factors regarding the intention to telework after the pandemic in Turkey and to develop a scale. Grounded theory, exploratory factor analysis, one-way ANOVA, and independent samples t-tests were used. The results indicated that age groups affected the motivation and commitment and extrinsic motivation regarding the intention to telework after the pandemic, and education levels affected the general motivation and commitment and intrinsic motivation. As education and teleworking experience levels increased, motivation and commitment and intrinsic motivation regarding the intention to telework after the pandemic increased. Motivation and commitment and intrinsic motivation levels of the employees of companies applying teleworking systematically were higher than the employees who teleworked compulsorily during the pandemic without an adaptation process. Women's extrinsic motivation regarding the intention to telework after the pandemic was higher than men's. The motivation and commitment levels of teleworkers were significantly higher than those of non-teleworkers. The data strongly suggested that childless participants had significantly higher motivation and commitment and intrinsic motivation regarding the intention to telework after the pandemic compared to the parent participants.
