Working conditions for the performance of remote work modalities in Cuba

Abstract

The development of ICTs, organizational changes and the COVID-19 pandemic have caused a significant increase in the use of remote work modalities. The objective of this research was to evaluate the working conditions of remote work modalities in Cuba. The Telework/Distance Work Questionnaire was applied to a total of 28,026 s and managers. The working conditions were valued positively by TDT and managers. The elements related to the clarity of the objectives to be achieved, the deadlines for completing their tasks and adequate communication with co-workers and managers stand out. The main difficulties with working conditions are associated with limitations in the speed and stability of the Internet connection, and access to the necessary computer means provided by labor organizations. Significant differences are evident in all working conditions with the exception of communication between bosses and TDT.
