Informal industries such as textiles and agriculture continue to follow this model in emerging markets. However, due to the gig economy and digital platforms that allow for flexible work schedules and a variety of career models, remote work has significantly increased as a result of globalization, digitization, and widespread internet access.Millions of people around the world were forced to work from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which served as a strong catalyst for remote work. This change questioned established work practices and brought attention to the advantages and disadvantages of working remotely. The hybrid work model, which divides time between the office and home, became a viable long-term solution as remote work grew in popularity.Making the distinction between working from home and working remotely is essential.This volume focuses on home-based work made possible by digital tools that keep employees connected to central systems and teams, even though remote work can take place from a variety of locations.Volume 2 aims to expand on our understanding of the psychological effects of working remotely, particularly in the context of digital evolution, workforce dynamics, and managerial frameworks. This volume includes five articles that apply survey-based approaches to explore these challenges across diverse cultural and occupational settings.
