The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated changes in work styles, particularly leading to an increase in teleworking. This increase has the potential to affect transportation and urban development. In Japan, as telework is gaining popularity with more companies implementing telework systems, the choice of workplaces has become diverse. This study investigates factors influencing workers’ time allocation among different workplaces, such as offices, satellite offices, and homes. A time allocation model is applied to the data collected by the web-based survey, which includes social demographics, evaluation of the work environment, and psychological factors related to work-life balance. The estimation results indicate that socio-demographic attributes, job type, work characteristics, work efficiency, work-life interruption, recreation intention, and work environment satisfaction significantly affect the time allocation among different workplaces.
