REMOTE WORK AND HYBRID WORK ORGANIZATIONS

Remote work, especially working from home, has become the most common form of work in the third decade of the 21st century. What started at the beginning of the millennium as an experimental practice in some companies (mainly in the IT industry) has become widespread and unintentional in 2020 and 2021, due to Covid 19 pandemic. It changed some of the most important features of the jobs, such as the communication patterns and the conception of the workplace, leading not only to significant changes in the way work is done, but also to a different psycho-emotional perception of work in the context of changing socialization patterns. The need to transition to a virtual environment forced both companies and employees to try out different ways of working (e.g., managing virtual teams, ensuring infrastructure and access to work resources, managing teams, workspaces, etc.). The paper addresses some of the key factors that influence work performance at the organizational and individual levels. It presents how technological developments and growing awareness of alternative approaches to work organization are changing companies' perceptions of managing their most valuable resource, human potential, and discuss potential failures in telecommuting policies. The goal of this study is to provide insight on the impact of workplace flexibility on work and the broader implications for both companies and employees.
