Abstract

Purpose Teleworking, working from home and flexible work have gained popularity over the last few years. A shift in policies and practices in the workplace is required owing to the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating current trends in work-from-everywhere (WFE) research. This article presents a systematic literature review of WFE research from 1990 to early 2023 to understand the transformation of the field. Design/methodology/approach The Web of Science database was used to conduct this review based on rigorous bibliometric and network analysis techniques. The prominence of the research studied using SPAR-4-SLR and a collection of bibliometric techniques on selected journal articles, reviews and early access articles. Performance and keyword co-occurrence analysis form the premise of cluster analysis. The content analysis of recently published papers revealed the driving and restraining forces that help define and operationalize the concept of WFE. Findings The major findings indicate that the five established and accelerated trends from cluster analysis are COVID-19 and the pandemic, telework(ing), remote working, work from home and well-being and productivity. Driving and restraining forces identified through content analysis include technological breakthroughs, work–life integration challenges, inequality in the distribution of jobs, gender, shifts in industry and sector preferences, upskilling and reskilling and many more have been published post-COVID in the restraining forces category of WFE. Practical implications A key contribution of this pioneering study of “work from everywhere” is the linking of the bibliometric trends of the past three decades to the influencing and restraining factors during the pandemic. This study illustrates how WFE could be perceived differently post-COVID, which is of great concern to practitioners and future researchers. Originality/value A wide range of publications on WFE and multiple synonyms can create confusion if a systematic and effective system does not classify and associate them. This study uses both bibliometric and scientometric analyses in the context of WFE using systematic literature review (SLR) methods.

未来的工作无处不在:一个系统的审查
在过去的几年里,远程办公、在家工作和灵活的工作方式越来越受欢迎。由于COVID-19大流行加速了目前“无处不在的工作”研究的趋势,因此需要改变工作场所的政策和做法。本文对1990年至2023年初的WFE研究进行了系统的文献综述,以了解该领域的转变。设计/方法/方法基于严格的文献计量学和网络分析技术,使用Web of Science数据库进行本综述。利用SPAR-4-SLR和一系列文献计量学技术对选定的期刊文章、评论和早期获取文章进行了研究。性能分析和关键词共现分析构成了聚类分析的前提。通过对近期发表论文的内容分析,揭示了WFE概念界定和实施的驱动因素和制约因素。主要发现表明,聚类分析得出的五个既定趋势和加速趋势是:COVID-19和大流行、远程办公、远程工作、在家工作以及福祉和生产力。通过内容分析确定的驱动力和制约因素包括技术突破、工作与生活融合的挑战、工作分配的不平等、性别、行业和部门偏好的变化、技能提升和再培训,以及在新冠肺炎疫情后在WFE的制约因素类别中发布的更多驱动力和制约因素。这项关于“来自各地的工作”的开创性研究的一个关键贡献是将过去三十年的文献计量趋势与大流行期间的影响和制约因素联系起来。这项研究说明了新冠肺炎后人们如何看待WFE,这是从业者和未来研究人员非常关注的问题。如果没有一个系统和有效的系统对它们进行分类和关联,那么WFE上大量的出版物和多个同义词可能会造成混淆。本研究采用文献计量学和科学计量学两种分析方法,采用系统文献综述(SLR)的方法。
