This paper examines the communication aspect of Home-Based Telework (HBT). The aim
of this study is to focus on internal organizational communication from the perspective
of occupation and time spent in HBT by answering two research questions. Firstly,
how does the occupation influence the perception of organizational communication and
the attitude towards remote work? Secondly, does the evaluation of communication within
the organization change according to the employees' judgment, depending on the time
spent in HBT? During the research, a systematic literature review related to HBT was
carried out. Moreover, an anonymous online questionnaire survey was conducted in four
occupational groups, on a sample of 1,100 people. The results show that there are
significant differences related to the perception of communication between groups
that can be distinguished based on occupations and time. The conclusions drawn from
the results can serve as a reference point both for the researchers of the topic and
for those company managers who prepare and organize the permanent introduction of
HBT.
