| description | Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate how remote work affects job performance. It suggests that factors such as the work environment, employee productivity, and work-life balance play a role in mediating this impact. The study also explores how remote work influences employee performance through these variables. The findings of this research have practical implications for businesses looking to evaluate the effectiveness of their remote work policies, especially during the ongoing coronavirus crisis. One distinctive feature of this study is its questionnaire, which has been specifically designed to capture the effects of COVID-19. Data were collected through an online survey distributed to workers in Syria. The survey, which utilized a Likert scale, was sent via email to around 2650 employees and was also shared on social media platforms. A total of 300 respondents took part in the survey. To address the research questions, structural equation modelling was employed in this study. The results indicated that remote work resulted in increased enjoyment, satisfaction, and motivation among employees, ultimately improving job performance. It is worth noting that while this research focuses on examining these benefits within the context of Syria, there is potential for external validity among other countries affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. |
