This study investigates how remote e‐working characteristics are related to employees' well‐being in Italy. We conducted a longitudinal study with two time points and a 1‐month time lag, involving a final sample of 223 employees. Controlling for the auto‐regressive effects of all the outcomes, our results revealed that experiencing work‐life balance during e‐working was negatively associated with emotional exhaustion and social isolation, while it was positively related to career progression. Organisational trust also showed a positive relationship with career progression. Regarding well‐being indicators of e‐working, cognitive weariness during e‐working was positively linked to emotional exhaustion, social isolation and physical complaints. Lastly, social isolation was negatively associated with subsequent perceptions of career progression. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the factors in e‐work related to different well‐being outcomes and can inform organisational interventions aimed at enhancing the well‐being of employees working remotely.
