Summary<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Most employees say that they work longer and more productively at home than in the office, yet some also suffer from loneliness and isolation. Nevertheless, a large proportion (56 percent) does not wish to return to full-time attendance; a majority of those surveyed would prefer to work from home two to three days a week. On the question of a legal right to mobile work, the population is divided. This is the result of a representative study by the Cluster of Excellence \u201cThe Politics of Inequality\u201d at the University of Konstanz, published in cooperation with the think tank Das Progressive Zentrum.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

The authors of the study, Prof. Dr. Florian Kunze<\/a>, Kilian Hampel<\/a> and Sophia Zimmermann<\/a>, see a possible reason for the great support for working from home in the fact that the vast majority of those surveyed perceive themselves as motivated and productive in the home office<\/strong>. 45 percent even stated that they can work more effectively than in the office. Another reason for supporting mobile work could be the compatibility of work and private life<\/strong>. 70 percent of those surveyed stated that this is better handled in the home office \u2013 regardless of whether they have underage children to look after or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, a large minority also reports serious disadvantages<\/strong>: One in five feels lonely and socially isolated in the home office. Also, almost one in six complains of emotional exhaustion. This stands in contrast with the fully convinced people: one in four would is willing to work without an office visit at all \u2013 and remain in home office entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
