Examination of the Impact of Remote Working Conditions on Quality of Life

Given the recent state of affairs, many organizations have adopted remote working conditions as a norm. Various challenges affecting quality of life are impacted by working from home. The aim of this literature review is to provide further insight into the impacts that working from home (WFH) had on the productivity and quality of life of workers across occupations. Review of the literature showed that autonomy has a significant impact upon work engagement, which in turn leads to a significant positive association on worker happiness. In addition to autonomy and work engagement, research indicates that the convenience of WFH also is positively associated with work engagement. Since remote working conditions are likely to remain, it is important for organizations to understand the impact of remote conditions on the quality of life of employees.
