Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The advent of remote work has revolutionized the traditional workplace dynamics, particularly in the technology industry. This study explores the impact of remote work on employee engagement and performance within the context of the technology sector. The rapid advancement of technology and the increasing trend towards remote work arrangements have prompted organizations to reassess their strategies for managing and motivating their remote workforce. This research aims to provide valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with remote work in the technology industry and its implications for employee engagement and performance. The study begins with a comprehensive review of the existing literature on remote work, employee engagement, and performance in the technology sector. The literature review highlights the key factors influencing employee engagement and performance in a remote work environment, including communication, collaboration, autonomy, and work-life balance. The theoretical framework developed based on this review serves as a foundation for the empirical investigation conducted in this study. The research methodology employed in this study utilizes a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to gather data from employees and managers in technology companies that have adopted remote work practices. The survey data is analyzed using statistical techniques to identify patterns and correlations between remote work, employee engagement, and performance. The qualitative interviews provide deeper insights into the experiences, perceptions, and challenges faced by remote workers and their managers. The findings of this study reveal that remote work has a significant impact on employee engagement and performance in the technology industry. The analysis shows that remote workers who have access to effective communication tools, opportunities for collaboration, and a supportive work environment tend to be more engaged and perform better than those who lack these resources. Conversely, remote workers who experience feelings of isolation, communication barriers, and work-life imbalance are more likely to exhibit lower levels of engagement and performance. The implications of these findings for technology companies are discussed, emphasizing the importance of implementing strategies to enhance employee engagement and performance in a remote work setting. Recommendations are provided for organizational leaders to foster a culture of trust, communication, and collaboration among their remote workforce, thereby maximizing the benefits of remote work while mitigating its challenges. In conclusion, this study contributes to the growing body of literature on remote work, employee engagement, and performance by shedding light on the unique dynamics of the technology industry. By understanding the impact of remote work on employee engagement and performance, organizations can develop tailored strategies to optimize the productivity and well-being of their remote workforce, ultimately driving innovation and success in the digital age.
