Psychospołeczne aspekty pracy zdalnej. Wyniki badań przeprowadzonych w trakcie trwania pandemii COVID-19

Abstract

Objective : The aim of the article is to explore the psychosocial context of remote work. There is a particular focus on engagement and the inconvenience caused by a non-standard work format. Research Design & Methods : The study was conducted on a sample of 201 employees engaged in digital output and able work remotely. Findings : The study showed that non-remote workers exhibit greater vigour, dedication and absorption than those working remotely. The lack of social contact was recognised as the most significant drawback of remote work. Implications / Recommendations : Compared to standard work, long-term remote work can have a negative impact on individuals’ engagement in three dimensions – vigour, dedication and absorption. Contribution : The research results provide the basis for further exploration of psychosocial aspects of remote work.
