Top Research Papers on Remote Working

Over the past 20 years, the internet and wireless communications have made it progressively easier for people to work outside the office, but does teleworking actually improve performance?

OFF-HIGHWAY REMOTE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY AVAILABLE, HERE ARE A SELECTION OF THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

A pilot scheme was set up to test two electronic mail systems plus videotex, and future schemes include setting up a central database to access personnel details and project management files.

Supervisors need to determine whether the work that is being done can be accomplished in just an as effective (or more effective) manner by utilization of a remote work arrangement.

Research from the CIPD spanning five leading European countries corroborated anecdotal reports of improved productivity through flexible working and also indicated longer‐term health benefits through reduced stress.

Remote work is undoubtedly on the rise, especially as companies adapt to the changing times of COVID-19, but what impact will this have on the broader economy? In this analysis, we examine the potential for remote work to reshape the geography of opportunity in the U.S. Using a variety of data sources, we provide evidence that remote work is already helping to send economic activity from the top 15 most expensive parts of the country to less expensive parts. When this happens, we show that it can be mutually beneficial: higher earnings for independent professionals and lower cost for businesse...

Abstract The case for remote work goes well beyond its use during the covid-19 global pandemic. Over the last ten years, research from a variety of subdisciplines in economics and other social sciences collectively makes a strong case for the viability of remote work for the long-run. This paper brings this research together to argue remote work (also called telework) is likely to become far more common in the future for four reasons. First, the productivity of individual workers who switch to remote work is comparable or higher than their colocated peers, at least in some industries. Second, ...

The main goal of the paper is to explore and expose the main changes in leadership behavior caused by digital technologies, as well as to analyze the advantages and challenges they present for organizations.

Remote work is typically characterized as work that is done at some physical distance from the office. Existing research has shown that the main elements of this characterization—physical distance and the office—are far more complex than most people realize. This review develops a framework that refracts the concept of remote work into four types of distance—psychological, temporal, technological, and structural—and three objects from which one can be distant—material resources, social resources, and symbolic resources. We then use this refraction framework to answer five questions about the w...

The impact of COVID-19 on the way that we work arguably represents the most drastic and rapid shift to the global workforce that we have seen since World War II. This paper investigates the long term impacts of this remote work experiment and what we can anticipate in the future, based on the direct impact that COVID has had on hiring, sentiments around remote work, and plans moving forward. The analysis uses two waves of survey data: one fielded prior to the pandemic in November 2019, and the other fielded during the pandemic in April 2020. The surveys polled a combined 1,500 hiring managers ...

Remote work has been widely adopted by organizations. In this context, this study aimed to answer several questions regarding the adaptation of centennials (born after 1995) to this type of work. It is in this generation that companies seek talent to meet skill needs (creativity, innovation, leadership). This is an exploratory study that began with a literature review, followed by the application of a questionnaire created in the Google Forms© tool. The forms were sent to students in the Administration course at the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC-SP) via email and WhatsApp, r...

This article was adapted and revised from the original “Mariotti I. (2021), Il lavoro a distanza svuota le città? Intervista a Philip McCann (Does remote working empty the city? An interview with Philip McCann), In Bellandi M., Nisticò R., Mariotti I. (eds.), Città e periferie alla prova del Covid-19: dinamiche territoriali, nuovi bisogni, politiche (Cities and peripheries to the test of Covid-19: territorial dynamics, new needs, policies), Donzelli Editore, Rome, pp. 25-35.

A shift to remote working raises important issues about the changing geography of work and the associated implications for places. It seems unlikely that a ‘new normal' after the COVID-19 pandemic will replicate the pre-COVID-19 picture. This has implications for the geography of work, both directly and indirectly because remote working in some jobs has implications for the sustainability of other jobs previously reliant on them. This chapter traces the possible short- and medium-term implications for places of remote working, addressing important questions relating to (1) the changing attract...

Working from Home (WFH) has become a profound workplace culture in developed and developing countries with a concern whether it should be continued or discontinued. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to examine the subject of telecommuting and remote work revolution against whether workers are more effective and productive working from home? To accomplish this, a descriptive research design that is multi-perspective in nature and utilizes the content analysis approach was adopted. The paper presented a brief history of teleworking, different remote working platforms, performance of telew...

Study of work-from-home practices of neurodivergent professionals who have Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, learning disabilities, and psychosocial disabilities reveals that while working from home, neurod divergent professionals create accessible physical and digital workspaces, negotiate accessible communication practices, and reconcile tensions between productivity and wellbeing.

A nurse-led service is bringing essential health care to a remote community in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, where people who could never have made the journey to a clinic now receive health advice, screening, and referral for treatment.

We show that cities with higher population density specialize in high-skill service jobs that can be done remotely. The urban and industry bias of remote work potential shaped the recent pandemic’s economic impact. Many big-city high-skill service workers started to work remotely, withdrawing spending from local consumer service industries dependent on their demand. As a result, low-skill service workers in big cities bore most of the recent pandemic’s economic impact. Our findings have broader implications for the distributional consequences of the U.S. economy’s transition to more remote wor...

This research studies the impact of remote work on the well-being of people who have had to adapt their work lives to being at home, and focuses on the cognitive aspect of getting work done, the challenges of negotiating boundaries and the impact on physical and mentalWell-being – all of which are important components of productivity and life satisfaction.

Remote working became very popular during the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak and are advantageous in a variety of ways like Possibility to work anywhere, at any time, no travel time or costs, less demands on employees, low operating costs, more flexibility etc. The effects of remote working on employee productivity and performance, however, are not fully understood because research on the topic is scattered and conducted in different situations. Therefore, the goal of this study is to give a systematic review the productivity of employees who were working remotely since COVID-19 pandemi...
