| dc.description.abstract | Even though teleworking has been around for a while, recent developments with COVID- 19, which increased the rate of teleworking or working from home, led to the introduction of many employees to teleworking or working from home (WFH) for the first time. This quantitative research study used emotional support as an independent variable, job competencies as a moderator, as well as trust and equity inside a South African bank to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction with telework. A sample of 150 professionals from a South African bank make up the participants. The variables of interest are job satisfaction, emotional support, trust and equality, and finally job competencies were examined using regression and proportions analyses to determine the degree of shared variance and the strength of the relationships between them. The results of this study show that there is no significant connection between teleworking and the impact it can have on employees of a South African bank's level of job satisfaction. According to the analysis, work competence, emotional support, trust, and equity are all positively correlated with job satisfaction. There isn't much evidence to suggest that work and home borders are advantageous. Additionally, there was no statistically significant correlation between job satisfaction and having a suitable home workspace, technological aid, or training to perform the job | |
