Abstract

This paper provides a thorough examination of peer-reviewed literature examining the effects of remote work on productivity and employee engagement. It gets important insights into the intricacies of remote work by analysing four publications, including one longitudinal research, a work efficiency comparison, a review of the literature on employee satisfaction, and a qualitative investigation of communication difficulties in virtual teams. Although a productivity comparison offers unbiased perceptions into the real-world work hours as well as tasks of remote compared in-office employees, the longitudinal analysis illustrates the shifting dynamics of staff participation in work-from-home arrangements over time. The analysis of the examined papers revealed a number of strengths and drawbacks. Longitudinal designs, sizable sample sizes, measurable productivity indicators, and thorough meta-analysis methodologies are among its advantages. The results show how crucial it is to take into account both productivity and worker engagement when assessing the effects of remote work. In order to improve communication and cooperation in virtual teams and increase satisfaction with work, organisations should implement evidence-based solutions.
