Using the \u2018job demands-resources\u2019 model, we applied multivariate techniques to examine the different ways in which telework intensity impacts working conditions by gender. Increased intensity of remote working was positively associated with better skills and discretion and work engagement, while it was negatively associated with the other dimensions of job quality (particularly with working time quality). Even though women usually score higher than men in work intensity or working time quality, high intense female teleworkers experience a downturn with respect to these two items. Low and medium intensities of teleworking were positively associated with skills and discretion, working time quality, improved physical environment, and especially with better prospects and earnings. In conclusion, the intensity of teleworking and gender affect job quality and work engagement in different degrees, highlighting the importance of including these multiple effects on the design of flexible working arrangements.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info13060277","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,28]],"date-time":"2022-05-28T01:40:45Z","timestamp":1653702045000},"page":"277","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Working Conditions and Work Engagement by Gender and Digital Work Intensity"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0724-0248","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paula","family":"Rodr\u00edguez-Modro\u00f1o","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Economics, Quantitative Methods and Economic History, Pablo de Olavide University, 41002 Seville, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"195","DOI":"10.1111\/ntwe.12073","article-title":"Three generations of Telework: New ICTs and the (R)evolution from Home Office to Virtual Office","volume":"31","author":"Messenger","year":"2016","journal-title":"New Technol.
