    Abstract

    An agent-based model for teleworking technology adoption is presented, including the risk of office closure in the event of a lockdown. It analyzes an adoption case using simulations and can be adapted to other cases and teleworking promotion strategies to contribute to sustainability. Simulations produce smooth sigmoidal curves that reasonably fit to real adoption curves. The simulation results suggest that the main reason for the observed increase in the adoption rate is the increase in the risk of office closures, the consequent increase in the usefulness of teleworking technology, and the increase in external influence that motivates them.
