Abstract:
In this two-study research using latent profle analysis (LPA), we investigated intra-individual combinations of conscientiousness, autonomy, self-regulation, and extraversion. Based on these combinations, we designed profles and explored telecommuting preferences and job outcomes of employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. In Study 1, we recruited 199 participants (77 females, ages ranging from 18 to 65). Results of this study revealed three profles. One profle scored high on all of the variables and displayed preferences for working on-site more than the other profles. Additionally, this profle showed higher work engagement, job satisfaction, and perceived productivity than the other two profles. To validate these fndings, we conducted a second study with a sample of 492 participants (169 females; age ranged from 18 to 65). The results yielded fve profles, one scoring high on all of the variables. Similar to Study 1, this profle exhibited higher work engagement, job satisfaction, and perceived productivity than the other four profles. Individuals in this profle preferred to work on-site compared to individuals in other profles. Our fndings add to the research demonstrating the importance of personality characteristics for telecommuting preferences and work-related outcomes.
