Abstract

One challenge of telework before the Covid-19 pandemic, but even during it, is that even if organizations offer such telework programs employees are not willing to work from home and prefer to stay in the office. We conducted a literature review of 32 studies focusing on telework adoption to propose the employee telework adoption model, informing research and practice about telework and its successful implementation. Guided by the theory of planned behavior we identified six behavioral beliefs fostering telework adoption and five behavior beliefs hindering telework adoption. Moreover, we reveal one normative and three control beliefs that foster or hinder telework adoption. This belief set constitues the employee telework adoption model, which is further discussed in terms of its implications for research and its guidance for future research endoveaurs.
