Editorial reading guide · Trust
How much does a supportive manager matter when home becomes the office?
This reading brings family-supportive supervisors and control of work-family boundaries in Portugal and Pakistan into the trust pathway. The comparative teleworker survey offers a specific workplace lens on how employment and family life meet.
Study context
108 Portuguese and 118 Pakistani teleworkers during pandemic lockdown
Age / stage: Working adults; children not directly assessed
Read with three questions
- How did the researchers define and assess boundary control during imposed telework?
- What does the study design allow us to conclude about the different modeled pathways in Portugal and Pakistan?
- What would need to be checked before adopting boundary agreements adapted to local telework conditions?
Keep the limits in view
Small country-specific lockdown samples and observational self-reports do not establish effects of voluntary hybrid work outside an emergency.
