Abstract
This study examines the adaptation of telework in China during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on the mobility of Chinese teleworkers and the use of collaboration tools. Through questionnaires and data analysis, this study examines how telework affects employee mobility and how collaboration tools affect employee productivity. The findings suggest that telework greatly increases individual mobility, with personal preference and income level playing a key role, while family factors have a weaker influence. In the case of collaboration tools, optimal usage time was determined to be between 20 and 30 hours per week, beyond which productivity declined. User satisfaction with these tools is a key factor in maintaining high productivity. The study concluded that while telework gained traction during the pandemic, its long-term adoption in China remains uncertain, as many workers returned to traditional office environments after the pandemic. The implications of these findings suggest that while telework has the potential to reshape work dynamics, its future in China will depend on continued adaptation to technology and changing work patterns.
