An Investigation of Remote Healthcare Employees’ Job Demands and Resources, and their Effects on Worker Job Attitudes and Well-Being

The proposed research project will investigate the challenges facing Canadian healthcare workers who currently work either fully or partially from home – and examine the effect that these challenges have on their engagement, job satisfaction, well-being, and intentions to stay at versus leave their current job. To do this, our research interns will conduct interviews with employees who work fully or partially from home, to better understand the challenges they’ve faced – and what resources have helped them overcome those challenges. This project is intended to assist our partner organization in learning more about what resources they need to provide to their employees to maximize the organization’s engagement and retention goals as they transition to using at-home work arrangements long-term.
