There have been major changes in teleworking during the COVID-19 pandemic because many employees started to work exclusively from home or in a hybrid way. Many organizations have continued with this type of work to this day, and many of the employees would like to continue teleworking in the future. In this master's thesis, we linked the desire to work from home with some individual characteristics. 203 employees completed an online questionnaire, which included The Big Five Inventory and Career Orientations Inventory. The multiple regression results indicate that among the Big Five personality dimensions, only Openness significantly predicts the desire to work from home. The results also show that a significant predictor of the desire to work from home is the career anchor Autonomy/Independence. The Lifestyle anchor and the Pure Challenge anchor also emerged as important predictors in the multiple regression analysis from which the Pure Challenge anchor showed a negative association with the desire to work from home. However, these two anchors did not remain significant predictors in subsequent analyses conducted through stepwise model construction in hierarchical multiple regression. Additionally, the findings suggest that, on average, younger employees desire to work from home more frequently than older employees. Similarly, individuals with longer commutes to their organization's premises are also more inclined to want to work from home more often. It appears that, on average, employees desire to work from home more frequently than they currently do. At the same time, individuals who work exclusively from home express the highest satisfaction with their current mode of work while those who solely work at the organization's premises express the lowest satisfaction. Organizations can consider these findings when determining the location of work for their employees. Working from home or adopting a hybrid model can be an effective strategy for attracting and retaining employees. However, it is worth considering that preferences for where the work is organized also depend on certain characteristics of the employees.
