Bibliometric mapping on teleworking in Brazil

Abstract

The remote work regime has gained special relevance with the imposition of social distance in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which generated significant changes in interpersonal relationships, especially in the labor sphere. The present study aims to analyze the Brazilian scientific production that deals with the subject "telework", also known as home office, remote work or telepresence. A bibliometric mapping was carried out, with a quantitative approach, using the exploratory method, from works registered in the database of the CAPES portal. The research identified 52 articles published between the years 2012 and 2022, and that deal with the themes "telework", "remote work" and "home office", which were organized using Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. The results were organized by title, journal and year of publication, theme addressed in the study, institution of affiliation of the authors, region of Brazil that produced the study and the approach adopted in the research on the subject. Only Portuguese language papers were selected, since the search was focused on the national production. Data analysis allows us to infer the growth of scientific production on the subject, especially in the post-pandemic period, with greater emphasis on the analysis of the applicable legislation. It also showed relevant the little production on the subject within the public service.
