Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic intensely increased the use of remote work in organizations around the globe that changed the conventional workplace architecture and redefined employee-organization relations. Although telecommuting was initially adopted as a crisis measure, it has over time taken a long term working model that has been adopted by numerous organizations. This paper will analyze how remote work will affect employee engagement and organizational commitment during the post-pandemic period. The study is dedicated to three key points: motivation and commitment of the staff, the generational differences in terms of virtual workplace engagement, and the impact of telecommuting on work-life balance, as well as emotional satisfaction. The primary data were obtained using a structured questionnaire survey with the employees who work in remote or hybrid work settings. Analysis of the collected data was done by descriptive analysis, percentage analysis, chi-square tests, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. The results show that remote work is more flexible and better regarding work-life balance but can also introduce difficulties associated with communication, collaboration, and isolation at the workplace. The findings also reveal the generational difference in the level of engagement between employees of Gen Z and Millennials especially. On the whole, the research indicates that companies should implement enabling management strategies, online collaboration tools, and personal well-being programs to ensure engagement and organizational commitment at the workplace even in the context of remote work.
