ABSTRACT
This paper analyses research publications and reports that highlight the strengths and difficulties of employees working remotely. A great majority of employees around the world were already forced to work remotely due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Each and every sector of the economy was impacted by this pandemic. At this period, the concept of remote work became increasingly prevalent. Di Martino and Wirth (1990) defines remote working as “a flexible work arrangement whereby workers work in locations, remote from their central offices or production facilities, the worker has no personal contact with co-workers there, but is able to communicate with them using technology”. The primary purpose of this study is to provide a survey of the literature with respect to the setting of remote working.
