The present work aims to identify relevant factors influencing the adoption of business teleworking by collecting the perceptions and attitudes of company managers and supervisors within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the Sars-CoV-2 virus. A quantitative study is performed by applying a questionnaire to a sample of 317 employees working in companies from the Maule Region, Chile. A database is built and analyzed in two phases: 1) a descriptive phase for demographic data and 2) an inferential and modeling phase to synthesize employees' perceptions and to determine possible causalities between variables. The results show eight factors. It is concluded that remote work is perceived as a contribution to the company, that the interviewees have a positive attitude towards remote work, and that technological variables enhance business continuity.
