Top Research Papers on Remote Working

Using in-depth, semi-structured interviews, study findings contribute to the literature on Virtual Human Resource Development with five aspects of working remotely in virtual teams: Telecommuters perceive time as an elastic, boundless aspect of how they work.

How does remote work affect productivity and how productive are workers who choose remote jobs? We decompose these effects in a Fortune 500 firm. Before COVID-19, remote workers answered 12 percent fewer calls per hour than on-site workers. After offices closed, the productivity gap narrowed by 4 percent, and formerly on-site workers' call quality and promotion rates declined. Even with everyone remote, an 8 percent productivity gap persisted, indicating negative selection into remote jobs. A cost-benefit analysis indicates savings in reduced turnover and office rents could outweigh remote wor...

COMPANIES REQUIRE TOP TALENT EMPLOYEES AND IT CAN BE ACHIEVED BY ATTRACTING POTENTIAL EMPLOYEES AND TRY TO...

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?

The Covid-19 pandemic has led to the rise of remote work with consequences for the global division of work. Remote work could connect labour markets, but it could also increase spatial polarisation. However, our understanding of the geographies of remote work is limited. Specifically, does remote work bring jobs to rural areas or is it concentrating in large cities, and how do skill requirements affect competition for jobs and wages? We use data from a fully remote labour market - an online labour platform - to show that remote work is polarised along three dimensions. First, countries are glo...

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, ...

“Telework” and “remote work” have both increased sharply in recent years during and after the pandemic and it is expected that new hybrid modes of working will emerge enabled by digital technologies.

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 ...

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...

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 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...

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...

We provide the first evidence on the efficacy of long-distance working arrangements between CEOs and firms. Long-distance CEOs underperform according to operating performance, insider reviews, and announcement returns to CEO departures. These effects are stronger when the CEO’s commute is longer and crosses multiple time zones. Using the quality of schools available to the CEO’s children as an instrument for the decision to commute, we argue that these effects are causal. CEOs’ private costs of working remotely have long-run effects on their strategic decisions and on the future of their firms...

Due to the shift in labor market from manufacturing and construction to service-based (Statistics 2016); the commoditization of high-bandwidth communication tools; advancements in management techniques; a dearth of trained knowledge workers within a geographic region; and a growing demand for flexible scheduling options, organizations are embracing and encouraging the growing distributed workforce. These workers are actual employees, not contractors; they may work independently or as part of a team; they have direct organizational supervision; and they work in a variety of virtual arrangements...

Data analysis surfaced the two major themes of the social and the emotional experience of participants, as well as subthemes that identify contextual, structural, and personal factors that shaped their experiences.

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...

Findings: The results of the study indicate that ergonomic...

Three important components that marked work during the COVID-19 period are described: remote work, health and safety during teleworking, and personal responsibility.

The paradigm of subordinate work already emerged in the early stages of the development of labour law and is still functioning to this day, which is widely accepted both in labour law doctrine and in judicial practice. The author assesses the timeliness of the traditional paradigm of subordinate work in conditions of development of new technologies and the spread of modern forms of work provision, doing so on the example of remote work. According to the author, despite working outside the workplace, while retaining much greater autonomy, in addition to the constant supervision of the employer,...

Tracing temporary work modifications resulting in permanent organizational changes in the construction industry is a challenge because of the high level of uncertainty about when and how these modifications will occur.

Currently, job duties are massively transferred from in-person to remote working. Existing knowledge on remote working is mainly based on employees’ assessment. However, the manager’s perspective is crucial in organizations that turned into remote work for the first time facing sudden circumstances, i.e., SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The main aim of our study was to analyze remote work effectiveness perceived by managers (N = 141) referring to three crucial aspects, i.e., manager, team, and external cooperation. We assumed the perceived benefits, limitations, and online working frequency as predictors...

The research sample consisted of 230 individuals who were engaged in remote employment. The data analysis was conducted utilizing the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method. The findings of th...

What explains record U.S. house price growth since late 2019? We show that the shift to remote work explains over one half of the 23.8 percent national house price increase over this period. Using variation in remote work exposure across U.S. metropolitan areas we estimate that an additional percentage point of remote work causes a 0.93 percent increase in house prices after controlling for negative spillovers from migration. This cross-sectional estimate combined with the aggregate shift to remote work implies that remote work raised aggregate U.S. house prices by 15.1 percent. Using a model ...

Six organizational patterns of remote work environments are presented in this paper: Unofficial Meetings, Remote Mentor, Unified Communication Channels, Standard Operating Procedures, Information Hub, and Cut Meetings.

Due to continues work in only home. They are not able to connect with other people personally. This search aims to provide empirical evidence how to implement the new scenarios for working from home

We study the adoption of remote work within cities and its effect on city structure and welfare. We develop a dynamic model of a city in which workers can decide to work in the central business district (CBD) or partly at home. Working in the CBD allows them to interact with other commuters, which enhances their productivity through a standard production externality, but entails commuting costs. Switching between modes of labor delivery is costly, and workers face idiosyncratic preference shocks for remote work. We characterize the parameter set in which the city exhibits multiple stationary e...

We use data from a large web-based job platform to study how the price of remote work is determined in a globalized labor market. In the platform, workers from around the world compete for jobs that can be done remotely. We document that, despite the global nature of the marketplace, the worker’s location accounts for almost a third of the variance in wages. The observed wage differences are strongly correlated to the GDP per-capita in the worker’s location. This correlation is not accounted for by differences in workers’ characteristics, occupations, nor for differences in the employers’ loca...

The study presented seeks to report ergonomics with remote work, highlighting some of the main characteristics related to the use of ergonomics with work routines.

In 3 short case studies presented in the text, situations that made organizations’ managements allow their employees work remotely are discussed. In each case, different reasons initiated a decision: plant relocation, hiring a specialist living far from the plant and a threat of pandemic. There is a common opinion on employees in many countries (including Poland) that they are not flexible enough when searching for a job, they expect it to be “ro...

The Covid-19 pandemic has led to the rise of digitally enabled remote work with consequences for the global division of labour. Remote work could connect labour markets, but it might also increase spatial polarisation. However, our understanding of the geographies of remote work is limited. Specifically, in how far could remote work connect employers and workers in different countries? Does it bring jobs to rural areas because of lower living costs, or does it concentrate in large cities? And how do skill requirements affect competition for employment and wages? We use data from a fully remote...

The world has witnessed a historic shift in the labor market in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While some companies used to offer the possibility of working from home as an advantage, now it has become the norm for most companies. By 2025, it is estimated that 70% of the workforce will work remotely at least five days a month. Although 2020 can be considered the year of remote working, this is just the beginning because we see that the trend continues in 2022. Even in new circumstances such as Health Crisis, all variations of the distance jobs and hybrid working models were not ju...
