Les modèles de travail hybride et à distance ayant connu une expansion exponentielle avec la numérisation et la pandémie de COVID-19, cette étude examine l’impact des différentes intensités de travail à distance sur la santé des travailleurs.

Objective  Because hybrid and remote work models have exponentially expanded with digitalization and the COVID-19 pandemic, this study examines how different intensities of WFH impact workers’ health. Methods  Drawing on the job demands–resources model, we applied two-way analysis of variance and regression models to the sixth European Working Conditions Survey to examine how the type and magnitude of WFH effects on health depend on its intensity. Results  A key aspect in relation to remote work is the frequency with which the worker carries out this type of work, with best results among those WFH only several times a month, for women, and several times a week, for men. Conclusions  Reasonable intensity of WFH may have beneficial effects on health, but these positive effects are reduced when working fully home-based.
