摘要

Remote work has gained popularity due to the global pandemic, leading to companies adapting their work practices to accommodate remote employees. With an emphasis on the function of technology, communication tools, and workspace conditions, the study investigates how remote work affects worker productivity. It was discovered that when workers have autonomy, flexible scheduling, and access to the tools and resources they need, working remotely has a positive effect on productivity. However, obstacles like distractions, lack of supervision, and isolation can have a detrimental effect on performance. Workplace conditions, communication tools, and technology all have a big impact on productivity. Work from home workspaces improve efficiency and focus, while communication tools like Zoom, Google Meet, and video conferences help to improve collaboration and streamline workflow. Frustration and decreased productivity can be caused by inadequate technology infrastructure or unsupportive work environments. Collaboration and efficient communication are essential for sustaining productivity in remote work environments. Employees who respect task boundaries, but obstacles like poor communication, loneliness, and a lack of workspace can affect output. Maintaining productivity when working remotely is also influenced by job design and organizational support.
