Description
The pandemic accelerated the demand for remote work and education. Importantly, however, not all people thrive in remote environments. Taking a person x situation fit approach, this study explores the perceived connection between personality traits, work mode preferences, and corresponding outcomes. Qualitative data from focus group sessions with employees and students will be transcribed and analyzed. Themes from these sessions will contribute to a deeper understanding of how different people experience productivity, well-being, and belonging in remote vs. in-person work/education environments. Findings will inform future investigations about when and for whom each work/education mode is most effective.
