Study on the Relationship between Telework Permission and Production Deviance:Influencing Mechanism and Boundary Conditions

Abstract

Abstract:

Telework is widely applied, but its effectiveness of remains controversial. Especially, results of studies on the relationship between telework permission and production deviance have been somewhat mixed. This study analyzes the mediating effect of employees' perceptions of insider status and job autonomy, the moderating effect of telework intention, and the influencing mechanism and boundary conditions linking telework permission to production deviance. Through the empirical analysis, it is found that telework permission decreases production deviance through affecting employees' job autonomy positively. Meanwhile, telework permission cannot influence production deviance through enhancing employees' perceptions of insider status. Besides, telework permission decreases production deviance via the dual mediation of job autonomy and perceptions of insider status. Employees' telework intention moderates the above-mentioned three influencing mechanisms and activates the relationship between telework permission and production deviance. That is, when the telework intention varies from low to high, the relationship comes into existence. The conclusions are enlightening for managers to intervene production deviance behavior.

Key words: telework permission, perceptions of insider status, job autonomy, telework intention, production deviance
