Abstract
Remote work is a flexible work arrangement that allows employees to perform their duties outside the company’s premises. It gained momentum during the COVID-19 pandemic and is still a popular work design that improves work-life balance. It brings important benefits to employees, for example, reduced transportation time and cost, as well as to employers, in terms of reduced office and maintenance costs and access to a worldwide talent-hiring pool. Employee commitment is related to trust and acceptance of organizational values and goals. It is employees’ willingness to work hard and remain in the organization, which is also based on their perceived relationships with managers and other employees. The goal of this manuscript is to deepen the knowledge of the constructs of remote work and employee commitment and study their
relationship in the selected company. The combined method is used to conduct the study; to collect primary data, a survey and an interview are conducted. The study showed a positive direct relationship between remote work and employee commitment: the more work is performed remotely, the higher the employee commitment in the studied organization.
