Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: One of the most difficult tasks faced by firms during the COVID-19 period is managing work processes while permitting workers to work remotely, which is employee indifference, which has rarely piqued the attention of researchers. This research explores the influence of extended remote working on employee indifference towards the workplace among IT sector employees. A quantitative research approach has been used to accomplish the objectives. The data was obtained through well-structured questionnaires distributed to IT employees in Kerala, India. Regression analysis and moderator analysis were used to test the research hypotheses. Sustained remote work is positively associated with increased indifference to the workplace, and gender moderates this relationship. This study provides valuable insights into the impact of remote working arrangements on employee indifference from the workplace over time. These findings have important implications for organisations aiming to comprehend the effects of prolonged remote working models on staff engagement.
