Abstract

Remote e-working refers to work conducted at anyplace and anytime and enabled by ICTs. This qualitative study aims to explore how remote e-working may influence five dimensions of work-related well-being (i.e., affective, social, cognitive, psychosomatic, and professional). A semi-structured interview method was employed on a sample of thirty-nine e-workers (22 female, Mage= 46.86) working for a UK software development company. Thematic analysis identified five common themes (e.g., exercise, eating habits and associated-health outcomes). Preliminary findings expand our theoretical knowledge suggesting that remote e-working relates to each of well-being dimensions. Practical implication is the development of a new scale measuring e-well-being.
