Abstract
COVID-19 had a huge impact on every industry. There have been many studies conducted to measure the impact that this has had on productivity, however, job satisfaction seems to be a mixed result. Research questions for this study include, how does remote work affect job satisfaction and productivity levels among employees? With more jobs becoming “at a distance” or remote in the past few years there are more things for organizations to consider and analyze when looking at job performance and hiring new employees. The research method will be a mixed method starting with exploratory or qualitative research and then moving on to quantitative research. The sample or population that can be tested will include two different types of employees based on their experience with remote work. This will allow us to understand if it is purely remote work or the transition from being in-person to remote that has an effect if there is one. These samples will be people who have newly worked remotely when they have years of experience working in person and another sample of the population would be people who have newly entered the workforce such as recent college graduates and have only ever worked remote jobs. Overall, there has been an increasing number of jobs going remote leaving more room for error and less boss supervision of employees which could affect both job quality and employee productivity.
