「リモート勤務」と「ハイブリッド勤務」はいまや、ほぼすべての人に影響を及ぼしています。多くの人が在宅勤務の利点と課題を発見し、人々は空っぽのオフィスやバーチャルなチームと対峙し、管理職は遠隔での管理・指導を学び、企業や政府はこの新しい働きかたが及ぼす影響について検討しています。
本書は、30年以上にわたって応用心理学、組織行動学、コンピュータを介したコミュニケーション、組織経済学の分野を研究してきた著者が、仕事が変化する中でリモート勤務する従業員や、この制度を導入して従業員を管理する企業が直面している課題と機会について注意深く考察し、実例を挙げながら、重要なポイントや、成功事例について説明しています。リモート勤務はどのくらい一般的で、新型コロナウイルス感染症のパンデミックによって何が変わったのでしょうか。リモート勤務に向くタイプの人というのがいるのでしょうか。リモート勤務する人を監視することの意義とは何でしょうか。リモート勤務の社会的なメリットとコストはどのようなものでしょうか。オフィスを持たない全面リモート勤務を導入した企業はどうなったのでしょうか。現代の新しい働き方について理解を深めるための重要なリソースを提供します。
