ABSTRACT
The adoption of remote work, also known as telecommuting, has been growing at a really fast pace in the last few years. The revolution in communication technologies has affected all aspects of social life. Internet has become the basis of the new economy and a major contributor to globalization and information technology development. However, it became especially relevant during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, when the vast majority of companies were forced to switch employees to remote work mode. Remote working is in the special spotlight now, since COVID-19 challenged many, if not all, companies by making the remote work an essential prerequisite for the continuation of corporate activities and existence in general. Under the influence of the modern digital world, Globalization and of course Covid-19 Pandemic, the classical meaning of the workplace has changed and today, as never before, remote work, also known as telecommuting, is one of the most relevant and popular forms of employment contract. The main factor of employee motivation is not only a salary any more, but emotional well-being, flexible work schedule and an autonomy are no less important to them today. In addition to competitive challenges, it is important to motivate employees, since without it, it is difficult to acquire and retain loyal employees who are not constantly looking for the new opportunities in the labor market Therefore, we find it interesting to examine the consequences of remote working and employee attitudes towards it. In this research, we have identified the remote work peculiarities, determined the link between job positions (Top-level managers, middle-level managers and workers) and employee job satisfaction, self-rated productivity, career advancement opportunities and related tasks. Finding of the study can be very useful for many companies in order to successfully implement the remote working model and achieve their goals
