This study aimed to examine the effects of self-regulation strategies on behavioral and psychological changes when working from home (telework), as well as the effect of supervisors’ leadership and trust of supervisors as determinants of self-regulation strategies. The survey was conducted among 73 employees in a Japanese IT company, and 50 of them who teleworked after the spread of COVID-19 were later analyzed. The results of the analysis showed that first, teleworking had no change in productivity, motivation, or information sharing among colleagues, but it rather reduced work stress and improved work-life balance. Second, the results of the factor analysis on self-regulation strategies revealed five sub-strategies. Furthermore, the results of multiple regression analysis showed that among the five sub-strategies, the goal strategy was effective in improving work motivation, and the task and monitoring strategies were effective in improving teamwork and information sharing among colleagues. Third, as a determinant of the self-regulation strategy, supervisor task-oriented leadership had no effect on self-regulation strategies. However, trust of supervisors had a positive relationship with self-regulation strategies. The results of this study suggest the effectiveness and importance of self-regulation strategies in teleworking.
