Abstract:
This article discusses the effects of remote working on work-life balance and its reflections on employee motivation in a conceptual framework. In today's business world, with the advancement of technology and changing business dynamics, the adoption of the remote working model has become widespread. However, understanding the effects of remote working on work-life balance and employee motivation is of strategic importance for organizations. The article examines the advantages and challenges of this working model, focusing primarily on the definition and evolution of remote working. The effects of remote working on work-life balance are detailed in terms of flexibility, time management, work-family conflict, and individual needs. Additionally, its relationship with work-life balance elements such as employees' psychological and social well-being, job satisfaction and productivity is analyzed. Next, the connections between work-life balance and employee motivation are evaluated. How the remote working model shapes employee motivation and elements such as task satisfaction, job satisfaction, workload management and social interaction as motivation factors are discussed. Within the framework of motivation theories, it is emphasized how remote working affects the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation of employees. Using a literature review and conceptual analysis method, the article examines previous research and theories assessing the effects of telecommuting on motivation. The findings reveal the potential for remote working to improve work-life balance, as well as its contradictory effects on increasing or decreasing employee motivation. In conclusion, the article highlights that organizations should consider the interactions between work-life balance and employee motivation when developing remote working strategies. It also concludes that future research is needed to better understand the long-term effects of remote work.
