Public servants working from home: Exploring managers' changing allowance decisions in a COVID-19 context

Sue Williamson et al.

Summary: Before the COVID-19 pandemic, remote work in the public sector was limited and subject to individual managers' decisions. This research compares attitudes towards remote work in 2018 with data collected in mid-2020, revealing changes in factors influencing managers' decisions. A new organizational criteria factor emerged at the organizational level, while concerns about productivity disappeared at the group level and new forms of managerial discretion emerged at the individual level. These levels intersect, showing that allowance decisions are influenced by interactions between organizational, group, and individual levels.
