Abstract
Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus and consequential introduction of social distancing measurements, in many countries telework has experienced a steep increase in popularity. Despite this there are only a few studies investigating this mode of working. This research looks at the effect of autonomy need satisfaction and self-efficacy on telework satisfaction and affective organizational commitment. I hypothesized that self-efficacy will moderate the relationship between autonomy need satisfaction and telework satisfaction which further downstream also affects organizational commitment. To do so, 155 people took a survey in which they indicated how much they agree or disagree with statements regarding the four investigated variables. The results showed that autonomy need satisfaction positively relates with telework satisfaction. While I hypothesized that there will be an interaction effect of self-efficacy and autonomy need satisfaction on telework satisfaction, I found no confirmation for this relationship. However, I found significant support for the hypothesis that telework satisfaction is mediating the positive effect of autonomy need satisfaction on organizational commitment. In the discussion I give possible explanations for the insignificance of the interaction effect and give advice for further research as well as practical implications of the findings.
