Remote and Hybrid Working : Variants, Determinants, Outcomes

With the outbreak of the current Covid-19 pandemic, work life has changed dramatically.
Remote working has become a monumental topic for the business world. This
change, in fact, induces some notable impacts for work-life and is likely to sustain
for a very long time, as companies increasingly report working outside the office and
tend to continue adopting this even after the pandemic. In this regard, this book is
based on the idea that a comprehensive approach on remote working needs to be
provided with a multi-dimensional perspective. This edited book is based on chapters
in the fields of remote working practices addressing current critical debates and
strings together with theories and findings through novel data-driven insights. In this
context, the book presents the ongoing discussion on remote working by including
studies mainly on work-life balance, work-family conflict, leadership, motivation,
HR policies, ethics, training and other related topics. The studies in this book are
expected to provide answers to questions raised by problems resulting from remote
working practices.
