Abstract

This study aimed to design and validate a teleworking model tailored to the characteristics of the new generation workforce in universities of medical sciences. This research employed a mixed-methods exploratory design. In the qualitative phase, data were collected through literature review and semi-structured interviews with 12 experts (managers, deputies, supervisors, and faculty members) using homogeneous sampling, and analyzed via grounded theory and coding procedures. In the quantitative phase, a questionnaire was developed based on extracted components and distributed among 384 participants using Cochran’s formula. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with PLS3 software. The results indicated that the teleworking model consists of causal, contextual, intervening, strategic, and outcome factors, all exhibiting significant relationships. Reliability and validity indices (Cronbach’s alpha, composite reliability, and convergent validity) were confirmed at acceptable levels. R² and Q² values demonstrated strong predictive power, while the overall model fit assessed by GOF indicated a satisfactory fit, and all hypothesized paths were supported. Teleworking represents a multidimensional transformation requiring simultaneous attention to technological, psychological, and legal dimensions, and its success depends on fostering a trust-based organizational culture, developing modern leadership competencies, and implementing integrated strategies to enhance productivity and employee well-being.
