Abstract:

Telecommuting is on the rise (Barrero, Bloom, & Davis, 2021). One implication is that employees go less often to the office. In turn, face-to-face communication and mere exposure to others in the office is reduced (Elsbach et al., 2010; Munck, 2001). Since motivation has real implications for one’s striving and thriving at work (Ryan & Deci, 2000; Van den Broeck, 2010), a mediation model is presented that addresses the relationship between face-to-face contact and motivation.
