Abstract

In the original language

Covid-19 changed people's mobility and lifestyles.nAad hoc Google Forms questionnaire was sent to N4=3 8 Austrian e-commuters across the tertiary sectortocapture the impact of the commute on the workforce's e-flexibility inclination. The findings show that, where possible e-flexibility may help to reduce the general reliance on commuting. All hypotheses were supported: the data show that the proportion ofsatisfied people working remotely increases as commuting time increases; interestingly, the ideal e-working model is a hybridone of commuting 3-4 times a week (41.4%);hetdebate on whether or not to return to the office is far from settled, 73% ofrespondents are reluctant to give up the 9-5 space,thworkforce living further from the office prefers to work remotely more often,and, not surprisingly, the workforce living notarffrom the organisation prefers to keep working in the office;coworking space seems to be on the rise (72%) amongemployees inshared work environments.Employees who live further from the office do not want the coworking possibility. Overall, spending some of the week working from home is a boon for employees in many circumstances, especially those who live far omfr the office .
