摘要

Anchored in the Job Demands-Resources model, this study aimed to better understand how remote workers’ perceptions of job demands and resources combine within distinct profiles while examining these profiles’ longitudinal stability. Another goal of this study was to investigate the predictors (i.e., perceptions of supervisors’ interpersonal behaviors) and outcomes (i.e., motivation, attitudes, and behaviors) of these profiles. A sample of 424 French remote workers completed an online questionnaire twice over a three-month period. Results from latent profile analyses and latent transition analyses allowed the identification of five profiles (Poor Job, Resourceful Job, Rich Job, Demanding Job, and Demanding Job with Extremely Low Time-Saving), which were moderately to highly stable over time. Supervisors’ need-supportive, -thwarting, and -indifferent behaviors showed distinct associations with these profiles, with need-indifferent behaviors playing a key predictive role. A rich pattern of associations was found between profile membership and outcomes, corroborating theoretical suggestions and revealing some double-edged effects emphasizing the specificity of the remote work setting.
