Remote Work in the Perspective of Intergenerational Differences

Abstract

Existing research on remote work covers various aspects, including the assessment of effectiveness, impact on employee health and well-being, technology used, and the future of work. However, little research has been done on the intergenerational differences that may influence the perception and evaluation of remote working in the public sector. Our study aims to compare the opinions of generations BB, X, and Y on remote work. The obtained results indicate that there is a relationship between the age of employees and the degree of preference for remote work in relation to traditional work, the effectiveness of remote work, and the assessment of the time required for task completion during remote work. However, there is no relationship between the assessment of technical and mental problems related to the transition to remote work and the assessment of the impact of remote work on the relationship in the team. These results can contribute to the development of intergenerational human resource management strategies and support management decision-making and should be explored further in the future.
