Abstract
Telecommuting is rapidly spreading because of the prevalence of Covid-19 but the research on the psychological characteristics of telecommuters and their attitudes(organizational commitment, job satisfaction, etc.) in the workplace is not abundant. We would like to verify whether the number of telecommuting affects social alienation and whether LMX moderates this relationship. Further, the alienation affects, in turn, job satisfaction and organizational commitment. A survey of 317 male and female workers aged 18 or older who are currently experiencing telework was conducted. The results are as follows. Firstlty, we confirmed that the number of telecommuting has a significant impact on social alienation and that LMX moderates this relationship. Secondly, we found that social alienation affects organizational commitment and that job satisfaction showed a mediating effect between social alienation and organizational commitment. Implications and limitations are discussed.
