WLP385 How Remote Work in Organisations Affects Performance
This episode is part of the All the World's a Workplace Expanded season.
Pilar looks at a recently published metastudy, looking at the recent evidence about how working remotely affects job performance in organisations, including:
A new review of the research into remote work and performance, and why studies conducted before, during and after the pandemic may tell us very different things.
The importance of distinguishing remote work from working from home, the role coworking spaces can play (including the unpopular view that being away from colleagues is not always a bad thing!), and why being able to work away from the office doesn’t necessarily give someone control over their schedule.
How remote work may support concentration, autonomy and independent tasks while making coordination, knowledge-sharing and interdependent work more difficult. (We revisit self-determination theory.)
How teams can design their practices around the particular trade-offs that matter to them.
The role of leaders in maintaining relationships, psychological closeness, collaboration and structure when people work apart.
Plus, personal updates and a book recommendation: I am Not a Robot by Joanna Stern.
