In the context of the normal development of the new crown epidemic, a large number of Chinese enterprises still retain the mode of teleworking. By analyzing the influence of teleworking experience on work happiness, we can bring some reference to the decision making of the future work mode of enterprises. In this paper, we use questionnaires to collect data and regression analysis to illustrate the effect of teleworking experience on employees’ happiness at work during the epidemic. This paper firstly elaborates the research hypothesis and proposes a research model through two parts: the relationship between telework experience and work happiness, and the role of telework attitude in telework experience and work happiness. Then the empirical analysis of the effect of telework experience on work happiness is elaborated through six parts: basic content of the questionnaire, data collection, sample description, questionnaire reliability analysis, descriptive statistical analysis, and regression analysis. The results of the empirical analysis are: telework experience has a positive contribution to job happiness, while telework attitude has a moderating effect between telework experience and job happiness. The paper concludes with some policy recommendations based on the results of the empirical analysis.
