  5. Employee Well-being, Remote Work, and Productivity in Hybrid Work Models

    Abubakar S. Sulaiman, Idibia Lawrence Onah · 2025 · Journal of Business Development and Management Research · 2 citations

    The global shift to remote work that began in 2020 marked an abrupt break from long-standing workplace norms, accelerating large-scale adoption of remote and hybrid models. This paper explores how these arrangements influenced employee productivity and engagement between 2021 and 2024, a period when many organizations aimed to stabilize operations after extended workplace disruptions. Using large-sample quantitative surveys complemented by detailed qualitative interviews across eight industries from manufacturing to creative sectors the study maps this transition. Findings indicate that most participants either sustained or improved their output when working from home, with particularly stro

  6. The Impact of Remote and Hybrid Work on Employee Productivity: A Systematic Literature Review

    Parisa Parsi · 2026 · British Research Review

    This study examines the relationship between remote work and employee productivity through a systematic literature review. A qualitative secondary research design was employed to synthesize findings from peer-reviewed articles and empirical studies published between 2020 and 2026. The selected literature was analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that remote work can enhance productivity through increased flexibility, autonomy, and reduced commuting time. These benefits are often associated with higher job satisfaction and improved work-life balance.

  7. The Impact of Microbreak on Employee Productivity and Mental Wellbeing in Remote Work Setting

    Muneeb Butt, Omar Ahmed Shaikh · 2025 · ACADEMIA International Journal for Social Sciences

    The swift transition to remote working has tightened the cognitive stressor and reduced the possibility of natural rest, creating the question of long-term productivity and individual mental health. Even though previous studies have accepted the positive effect of short breaks, only a small amount of empirical studies have concurrently studied the effects of productivity and wellbeing and explained the mechanism behind it in a remote work setting. The given research fills this gap and focuses on the effect of microbreaks on the productivity of employees and their mental wellbeing when work efficiency is considered as the mediating variable. The study utilized a quantitative, cross-sectional
