Information and communication technologies (ICT) have had, and continue to have, a profound effect on the way organizations and their workers plan, perform and execute work. Telework, in particular, enables workers to work anywhere and at any time. This study presents an overview of teleworking due to the coronavirus crisis, the attitudes towards remote work and the usefulness of a specific software application used by remote workers. To better understand the ICT systems used for remote project management and team coordination a literature review was conducted. To test the hypotheses an online survey was performed and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used in an effort to explore individual technology acceptance behavior of the MS Teams application. The questionnaire distributed to remote workers in the European Commission Directorate General for Informatics. The results indicate positive acceptance behavior for MS Teams and no differences between women –men, internals – externals and workers with prior experience when it comes to MS Teams acceptance TAM factors. These results suggest that MS Teams is acceptable by the remote workers and the three variables have no effect in acceptance behavior of MS Teams.
