    Working outside of the employer’s physical space using information and communication technology can be labeled as telework. With the Covid-19 pandemic, telework assumed an unprecedented relevance with substantial impact for the future. Therefore, the development of assessment scales that allow a better comprehension of telework is essential. In this study, the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the Impact of Telework on Career Scale (ITCS) were assessed tested on 533 workers, and confirmatory analyses were performed on 532 remote workers. Results suggested good psychometric properties and a two-factor structure, Work-Related Well-Being, and Psychological Well-Being. Furthermore, this Portuguese sample considered that telework has little impact on the connection with colleagues, employers, and the probability of being promoted, but it can promote work-related satisfaction and performance, as well as reduce work-family conflict. Implications for scale usage are discussed.

    A atividade profissional exercida com recurso a tecnologias de informação e comunicação fora do espaço físico da organização empregadora pode designar-se por teletrabalho. Com a pandemia Covid-19, o teletrabalho assumiu uma relevância sem precedentes com impacto substancial para o futuro. Assim, é essencial o desenvolvimento de escalas de avaliação que permitam compreender melhor esta modalidade de trabalho. Neste estudo, a estrutura fatorial, fidelidade e validade da Escala do Impacto do Teletrabalho na Carreira (EITC) foram testadas com recurso a 533 e confirmadas com 532 trabalhadores portugueses em teletrabalho numa empresa portuguesa multinacional. Os resultados sugeriram boas características psicométricas e uma estrutura de dois fatores: Bem-Estar Laboral e Bem-Estar Psicológico. Além disso, os participantes consideraram que o teletrabalho tem pouco impacto na conexão com colegas, empregador e na probabilidade de promoção de carreira, mas pode promover a satisfação e desempenho laboral, bem como diminuir o conflito família-trabalho. As implicações para o uso da escala são discutidas.
