Remote Work Culture and Its Impact on Employee Performance: A Study at I-Tech Software Academy, Nagercoil

Abstract

The transformation of workplace structures through remote work has changed employee performance dynamics in the information technology sector. The flexibility offered by remote work has influenced employee productivity and work-life balance in different ways. This study examines remote work culture and its influence on employee performance among employees of I-Tech Software Academy, Nagercoil. The study specifically focuses on two dimensions: the role of work-life balance in employee performance and the relationship between remote work practices and employee productivity. A descriptive research design was adopted, and data were collected from employees using a structured questionnaire. Statistical tools such as Kruskal–Wallis test and regression analysis were used for analysis. The findings reveal that work-life balance significantly influences employee performance, whereas remote work practices alone do not have a statistically significant effect on productivity. The study provides practical recommendations for improving remote work policies and organizational support systems.
