4 Job characteristics associated with the promotion of telecommuting policy use:

An analysis of coworkers’ fairness perceptions

Abstract

This study investigated how the work environment increases coworkers’ fairness perceptions toward telecommuting users based on work-life balance research and equity theory. The survey results showed that task autonomy and job complexity increased fairness perceptions toward telecommuting policy users. Additionally, high task interdependence strengthened the relationship between task autonomy and fairness perception, and between job complexity and fairness perception.
