WORKING HOMEBOUND AND ITS EFFECTS ON PERFORMANCE AND WORK PRODUCTIVITY DURING THE TIMES OF COVID-19

This paper shows the findings of research about the effects of Telework on the performance and work productivity placing emphasis in the times of “lockdown” and “Working from Home” (WFH) expansion due to the Covid-19 global pandemic. The specialized literature indicates substantial modifications in WFH characteristics, which makes necessary a new concept for the correct analysis and phenomena interpretation. Consequently, we introduce the concept of “Working Homebound with Reduced Flexibility” (TCH from Spanish). Thus, research shows ambiguous results on the effects of this phenomenon in particular: positive, negative, and mixed results.
