Resumo(s)
This article seeks to characterise teleworking in public administration during the
COVID-19 pandemic. It draws on a study that aimed to collect the perceptions
of Portuguese public servants about this phenomenon. Findings show that,
in general, perceptions of workers and managers about teleworking are more
positive than negative. It seems that teleworking in public administration has
succeeded despite perceptions of insufficient equipment supply and some
stigmatisation of teleworkers. The article also sought to investigate whether the
perception of the potential advantages and disadvantages of teleworking, with
special emphasis on work-life balance, varies according to the workers’ gender
and number of dependents. The study found that this was indeed the case.
However, there were also differences relating to workers’ motivation. The study
found that a significant proportion of Portuguese public servants felt more
motivated when performing their activities as teleworkers.
