Evaluation of the positive and negative consequences of the remote work model with the Covid – 19 pandemic

Abstract

The pandemic has dramatically changed every aspect of human life. Within the scope of local and national restraint policies, institutions, organizations and companies have switched to the remote working model to keep their employees safe. The remote working model has gained popularity since the early 2000s. Both the existing problems of the concept of remote work and the emergence of the pandemic, the concept of compulsory remote work has revealed some consequences. In this context, it is considered important to address the concept of remote work and its positive and negative effects in the pandemic. Although there are positive aspects such as flexible working hours, money and time savings, and the feeling of being protected from the virus in the pandemic as a result of the changing conditions, studies show that employees and companies may experience significant problems due to the sudden and forced transition. Among these, there are many economic, social and psychological problems such as the feeling of personal isolation, the inability to connect directly with colleagues and managers, and the need for more tools, knowledge, experience and self-discipline to work at home. Based on the study, the effects of the concept of remote work were evaluated in line with the literature and its general effects were mentioned.

Covid – 19 pandemisi ile birlikte uzaktan çalışma modelinin olumlu ve olumsuz sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Pandemi insan hayatının her yönünü önemli şekilde değiştirmiştir. Yerel ve ulusal sınırlama politikaları kapsamında kurumlar, kuruluşlar ve şirketler çalışanlarını güvende tutmak için uzaktan çalışma modeline geçiş yapmışlardır. Uzaktan çalışma modeli 2000’lerin başından bu yana popülerlik kazanmıştır. Gerek uzaktan çalışma kavramının var olan sorunları gerekse de pandeminin ortaya çıkması ile zorunlu uzaktan çalışma kavramı beraberinde birtakım sonuçlar ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu bağlamda pandemide uzaktan çalışma kavramının ve bunun olumlu ve olumsuz etkilerinin ele alınmasının önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir. Değişen koşullar sonucunda pandemide uzaktan çalışmada esnek çalışma saatleri, para ve zaman tasarrufu, virüsten korunma hissi gibi olumlu yanlar olsa da yapılan çalışmalar ani ve zorunlu geçiş nedeniyle çalışanlar ve şirketlerin önemli sorunlar yaşayabildiğini göstermektedir. Bunlar arasında kişisel izolasyon hissi, meslektaş ve yöneticilerle doğrudan bağlantı kuramama, evde çalışmanın daha fazla araç, bilgi, deneyim ve öz disiplin gerektirmesi gibi çok sayıda ekonomik, sosyal ve psikolojik sorun yer almaktadır. Çalışmanın temelinde literatür doğrultusunda uzaktan çalışma kavramının etkileri değerlendirilmiş ve genel etkilerinden bahsedilmiştir.
