Assessing the Effects of Remote Work on Employee Well-Being Across Different Sectors
摘要
Remote work involves performing duties that go beyond the traditional office setting. Remote practices have been growing recently due to several factors (Singh et al., 2022). Technological advancements are vital enablers that offer the tools to perform job duties beyond the organizational setting (Singh et al., 2022; Greer et al., 2023). The technology gradually enabled organizations to transition to remote work settings; however, COVID-19 was an unexpected shock that compelled organizations to adopt remote work settings beyond their functional areas (Marcus, 2023). An organization has experienced several benefits of remote work settings, such as flexible work schedules, increased labour participation, reduced commuting time, and a potential reduction in the gender gap (Sengupta & Al-Khalifa, 2022). Furthermore, the remote work environment is favoured by workers due to its ability to effectively provide them with the flexibility to perform their organizational responsibilities (Yur’evna, 2023). One of the primary advantages of remote work is the reduced energy and time spent commuting (Simon, 2022).
