The Impact of Remote Work on the Culture and Performance of Multinational Corporations

Abstract

This research explores the complicated dynamics of how remote work influences MNC culture and productivity. This mixed-methods research explores global work's ever-changing reality using quantitative data and qualitative insights from Schein's Organizational Culture Model and the Globally Distributed Teams Framework. Qualitative research within MNCs shows major cultural developments, including changes in communication techniques, acceptance of adaptation as normal operating practice, and increased cultural diversity. The quantitative study reveals that remote work improves organizational and employee effectiveness. The study emphasizes the strategic importance of adaptability, different perspectives, and flexibility for multinational companies (MNCs) to prosper in the era of remote labor. The Resource-Based View (RBV) and Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions Theory lead discussions and provide practical guidance for businesses managing a remote, global workforce. As practitioners, legislators, and organizational leaders define remote work's post-pandemic trajectory, the research provides pragmatic insights and theoretical understanding about the future of work. How cultures grow, how leadership influences remote teams, how to enhance performance metrics, and how new technology affects talent management and distant collaboration in global businesses are possible study subjects.
