This paper examines the characteristics of remote work using a unique Japanese survey dataset that provides information on engagement in remote work together with the specific job tasks and human resource management (HRM) characteristics workers face. We show that the opportunity to work remotely was more likely to be available to those engaged in non-routine tasks as well as to workers subject to HRM practices presupposing that worker performance is measurable. The implications of these findings for income transfer policies and management practices in light of the COVID-19 pandemic are also discussed.

本文使用独特的日本调查数据集检查远程工作的特征，该数据集提供了有关远程工作参与的信息以及工人面临的特定工作任务和人力资源管理 (HRM) 特征。我们表明，远程工作的机会更有可能提供给从事非常规任务的人以及受 HRM 实践约束的员工，前提是员工的绩效是可衡量的。鉴于 COVID-19 大流行，还讨论了这些发现对收入转移政策和管理实践的影响。
