İş hayatında çalışma biçimleri, kişisel tercihler ve öznel iyilik hali

Telework is a work arrangement that uses technology to work from home or any other location other than the office (Spreitzer et al., 2017). Many pieces of the literature showed that those who are more sociable and attracted to developing relationships with others (i.e., higher on sociability) tended to report lower ratings on indices of telework performance (O'Neill et al., 2009). In this study, we focused on the relationship between individual needs and subjective well-being and aimed to see if work arrangements play a moderator role. Also, with this study, we further explored how commuting convenience and commuting time affect subjective well-being in a big metropolitan city such as Istanbul. Data for the current study were collected from 203 (123 Females, 80 Males) white collar employees who work for several companies in Istanbul by Qualtrics. Employees' current work arrangements (Hybrid, face-to-face and remote), their number of remote working days, commuting time, their individual needs (the need for affiliation, the need for status and the need for achievement) and subjective well-being are measured. Bivariate correlations and hierarchical regression models were conducted to test the hypotheses. Results showed that work arrangements don't play a role as a moderator and there isn't any significant relationship between individual needs and subjective well-being. However, we found that commuting convenience predicts subjective well-being and higher commuting times decrease subjective well-being. The findings are discussed based on the previous literature, future directions and implications.
