    Abstract:
    This study explores the drivers of employees’ attitudes towards home teleworking with Tobit regression and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). Drawing from technology acceptance models, it derives hypotheses regarding variable relationships and telecommuting perceptions. Data were obtained from a survey with 3104 responses conducted by the Spanish Agency “Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas” in Spring 2021. The results emphasize the pivotal role of the family-life impact in shaping telecommuting perceptions, alongside factors like location, ICT satisfaction, employer support, and job adaptability. The results from fsQCA reveal an asymmetric influence of input factors on the positive and negative evaluations. Positive perceptions are associated with family-life positivity, firm support, strong ICT, and non-provincial residence, while negative attitudes relate to family-life negativity, lack of employer support, and poor connectivity. The main innovation of this paper lies in the combined use of correlational and configurational methods, enriching insights into employee telecommuting perceptions beyond traditional regression analysis.
