Our colleague Esther Villajos, together with Amalia Pérez-nebra and Jonathan Peñalver, has published a new article titled "A mixed-method of the happy-productive: wellbeing and performance patterns of remote workers in Brazil" in Frontiers in Sociology.

This study analyzes the relationship between well-being at work and job performance in remote work through a mixed-method approach. The findings highlight the existence of four patterns (“9-to-5”, “entrenched”, “engaged”, “burned-out”), pointing out the diverse experiences remote workers may have and the practical implications for implementing flexibility practices.
