Abstract

Despite the increasing attention to remote working – i.e., the possibility for employees to work outside their main office supported by technological connections and devices – due to the worldwide emergency related to the spread of COVID-19, there is currently a shortage of studies related to this phenomenon in the Italian context. This research aims to shed light on the remote working modality, investigating its possible impact on current job satisfaction, as well as the role of prior experience with this modality in affecting employees’ judgements related to job productivity and personal benefits. The research also examines possible motivations for future remote working adoption in order to attain further comprehension on the phenomenon from an employee’s perspective. Theoretical and managerial implications for organizations are also discussed.
