ABSTRACT: The advent of remote work has revolutionized the traditional workplace, offering employees the flexibility to work from anywhere. This research paper aims to investigate the psychological effects of remote work on employee well-being, job satisfaction, and work-life balance. Additionally, it explores strategies for effective remote management to ensure optimal employee outcomes. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to gather comprehensive data. A sample of remote workers from various industries and organizational settings will be recruited to participate in the study. The quantitative survey will assess variables such as perceived stress levels, job satisfaction, work-life balance, and overall psychological well-being. The qualitative interviews will provide deeper insights into the experiences, challenges, and coping mechanisms of remote workers. The findings of this research will contribute to the existing literature on remote work and its impact on employee well-being. It is hypothesized that remote work can have both positive and negative effects on psychological well-being. Factors such as autonomy, flexibility, reduced commuting time, and increased control over work environment may positively influence wellbeing. However, challenges such as social isolation, blurred boundaries between work and personal life, and increased pressure to be constantly available may negatively impact wellbeing. Furthermore, this research aims to identify effective strategies for remote management that can enhance employee well-being, job satisfaction, and work-life balance. These strategies may include clear communication channels, regular check-ins, fostering social connections, providing adequate resources and support, and promoting work-life integration. The implications of this research are significant for organizations and managers seeking to optimize remote work arrangements. By understanding the psychological effects of remote work and implementing effective management strategies, organizations can create a supportive and conducive work environment that promotes employee well-being and job satisfaction, ultimately leading to increased productivity and retention.
