A Study on an Impact of Remote work environment on Employee Job Satisfaction With reference to Software Industry– India

Abstract

Telecommuting is becoming increasingly popular as it offers benefits for both employers and employees. It's also received a lot of renewed attention in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced many organizations to rapidly shift from traditional in-person work environments to a completely remote workforce for health and safety reasons. The long-term popularity of telecommuting is linked to the benefits it can provide, including reduced or eliminated commuting time, recruiting and hiring benefits, and increased productivity. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to understand the impact of a remote work environment and to identify factors influencing employee job satisfaction. Quantitative research will be conducted to conduct the study. Primary data was collected using a structured questionnaire. A stratified random sampling technique is used to select a sample of 75 employees from five software companies in India who participated in a pre- and post-test assessment. Statistical techniques including comparison chart, normality tests and paired t-test were used to analyze the data. Later findings from the implementation of STATA v.12 also highlight the impact of the remote work environment and the factors affecting employee job satisfaction. After its validity and reliability has been tested by the researcher. Limitations include the absence of a control group, which rules out the influence of potential extraneous factors on learning outcomes, which is a new avenue for future research.
