Effects of Remote Business During the Covid-19 Pandemic - A Literature Review

Abstract

Remote work as a form of business has been used for many years, but not in all industries. In the midst of a pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus, this way of working has become an inevitable form of business. Overnight, one had to adjust to the “new normality” and accept a new way of working from home. This way of working has positive and negative effects on the job itself and on the individual. These issues have been addressed in a number of studies that have identified different impacts of distance business on productivity, as well as on all participants in the business process. Research shows that there are a number of positive effects on employees of different companies, but also some negative effects. Most of the research covered by this paper, 81.82% of them, found that this way of working has no negative effects on productivity. Also, 63.64% of papers showed that the consequences for employees are mostly positive. Remote work has had a number of implications for businesses and individuals as it has become more widespread, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. While it has been shown to have mostly positive effects on productivity and employee well-being in many studies, there are also some negative impacts that have been identified. It is important for businesses and individuals to carefully consider the benefits and drawbacks of remote work and to implement strategies to address any potential negative effects.
