Research objective:
to identify the effects of home office on workplace health and safety.
Data source:
Pubmed, DOAJ, Jstor, Thieme, Science Direct, Scielo and Redalyc.
Eligibility criteria:
any published empirical paper on workplace health that contributes to analyze the dynamics of home office in non-manual jobs in order to generate evidence on the effects of remote working on the workers' health.
Papers' evaluation:
the Downs and Black List was used to verify methodological rigor.
Synthesis methods:
papers collected were organized into four categories: “pessimistic”, “optimistic”, “skeptical” and “ambivalent”, based on their positions on the effects of home office on workers' well-being.
Results:
14 empirical research articles that study the health of home office workers were located. They were published between 2000 and 2020. All of them adopt an occupational health point of view. According to their conclusions on the impact of home office on occupational well-being, they were classified into four groups: optimistic (5), pessimistic (5), ambivalent (1) and skeptical (3).
Limitations:
articles that address the topic from a business perspective were not considered. Information in languages different than English or Spanish was not included. Papers published in printed format only were not incluided.
Conclusions:
the main topics of interest about home office are stress management, ergonomic and psychosocial problems, and training.
