Remote Work and Work Efficiency

Katarzyna Kalinowska, Elżbieta Noworol-Luft · EUROPEAN RESEARCH STUDIES JOURNAL · 2025

Purpose:The main objective of this article is to analyze the relationship between remote work and work efficiency, including both productivity and work-life balance dimensions.In light of the structural shift toward hybrid and remote models triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, the study investigates how telework affects task performance, autonomy, motivation, and stress levels.The analysis incorporates both theoretical frameworks (agency theory, human capital theory, transaction cost theory) and empirical data.The article also presents two research hypotheses: H1: Employees working remotely perceive a higher level of work efficiency than those working in a traditional office setting; H2: Remote work contributes positively to employees' work-life balance, reducing perceived stress and increasing job satisfaction.Design/Methodology/Approach: The article combines a theoretical review with empirical research based on a structured survey.The questionnaire included 15 diagnostic variables assessing subjective perceptions of remote work's impact on productivity, autonomy, communication, and work-life balance (1 = strongly disagree, 5 = strongly agree).The sample consisted of 100 respondents and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and measures of variation.Findings: Preliminary results suggest that remote work is associated with enhanced concentration, greater autonomy, improved task prioritization, and higher motivation.Respondents reported better time management and work-life integration, though some challenges-such as social isolation or ineffective communication-were also noted.Hybrid work emerged as a preferred model that optimally balances productivity and employee wellbeing.Practical Implications: The findings offer valuable insights for organizations designing post-pandemic work strategies.Emphasis should be placed on flexible structures, digital support, and the development of soft competencies such as time management and selfregulation.Originality/Value: This article contributes to the ongoing discourse on the future of work by empirically grounding discussions of remote productivity and well-being.By integrating behavioral and organizational perspectives, it highlights the dual impact of remote work on performance and personal balance.

Work Efficiency Evaluation Model

Shigeomi Nishigaki, Katsutoshi Saibara, Shigeo Kitahara et al. · Proceedings of the ... ISARC · 2010

Work Efficiency Evaluation Model Shigeomi Nishigaki, Katsutoshi Saibara, Shigeo Kitahara, Masaharu Moteki Pages 336-345 (2010 Proceedings of the 27th ISARC, Bratislava, Slovakia, ISBN 978-80-7399-974-2, ISSN 2413-5844) Abstract: As for a backhoe, generally, the work efficiency is utilized as one of terms to calculate the work capacity. As the case stands, evaluation metrics such as performance of work tasks, operational skill levels and energy-saving effects are usually and frequently represented by qualitatively volumetric indices of capacity. This paper proposes the work efficiency evaluation model that quantitatively visualizes work efficiency in terms of work control factor, work time factor and workability factor, and serves users with commentary information. Here, physical factors such as work and power are introduced to calculate the workability factor. The commentary information consists of management information, operator bearing, complementary explanation, and early warning, which are accompanied with work commands. It is anticipated that the work efficiency evaluation model could perform rationally purposive evaluation, instructions and education as for performances of work tasks, operational skill levels and energy-saving effects.

Remote Work Efficiency and Work Satisfaction Among Specialists

Krystyna Khorrami, Jacek Dziwulski, Krystyna Wojciechowska · RePEc: Research Papers in Economics

Purpose: The aim of the survey conducted on a group of 469 IT specialists of Polish nationality, working in enterprises in Poland was to learn about the links between the effectiveness of remote work and job satisfaction. Design/Methodology/Approach: Taking into account human capital management approach the main research methods which were used in the study were literature review, diagnostic survey research and basic statistical analysis. The study was conducted on the basis of a survey questionnaire, using the translational method - the classic survey questionnaire technique was digitized and transferred to the Internet. The research results were presented in cross-sectional approaches, which include specifics by gender, age, total work experience, income level, and work organization factors like type of employment contract, position held, place of work, size of the enterprise, location, type of capital, influence the effectiveness and satisfaction of remote work. Findings: The results obtained indicated a positive correlation between the effectiveness of IT specialists' remote work and their job satisfaction. Practical Implications: Most IT professionals perform their work remotely, usually working on two - four projects at the same time. The effectiveness of their work depends both on their personal adaptation to the requirements of individual projects, on the computer hardware and software, and on the constant updating of their knowledge, due to the high dynamics of development of the IT industry. Originality/Value: Job satisfaction depends on needs of IT specialists satisfied by the hardware and software they work on, as well as on the quality of communication with their superiors.

Self-Efficacy and Work Efficiency

Štěpán Markvart · Digital Repository (National Repository of Grey Literature) · 2007

The tagets of this thesis were to test with a chosen organization's staff how much self-efficacy depending of particular tasks affected the quality of fulfilling those tasks, to recommend suitable methods of increasing self-efficacy and to suggest a method of task formulation corresponding to social cognitive theory of man in organization. The research was done at a particular section of fiscal administration. The requisite information was obtained by questionnaire method, the received dates were compiled by the suitable statistical methods. The consequent results allowed to say there was no positive relation betwen self-efficacy during fulfilling particular tasks and the efficiency of the particular section's offices. One of the most important results was that self-efficacy itself did not affect the efficiency of the particular offices. The differences in the efficiency resulted from the managers'work. The thesis includes recommendations resulted from its targets.

Productive efficiency... How factories work

Jean Ruffier · Americanae (AECID Library) · 1996

The thesis describe the theory and the making of a tool evaluating the ability to last of factories. Testing and building of the tool is done in case studies of factories located in France, Latin America and China. We prove that it is possible to evaluate the lasting ability of a factory observing how each productive section get the information it needs to take decisions.

The process of radial cataphoresis is investigated in the positive column of a low-pressure neon-mercury discharge. The emission spectrum and the electric field are measured for several discharge tube diameters, neon pressures, mercury pressures and electric currents. From the results of these measurements, the current from which the emission spectrum of the lamp starts to contain a significant amount of neon radiation is determined. At this critical current, the mercury density profile in the tube is assumed to be significantly depleted due to the process of radial cataphoresis. The measured trends in the critical current are compared to an approximate discharge model.
