What I don't like:

In this study, the focus is specifically on employees performing their tasks from their homes, leveraging ICTs to maintain communication and productivity. This emphasis is particularly pertinent because, during the peri-pandemic period, employees predominantly worked from home due to widespread lockdowns and social distancing measures. The home became the primary, and often sole, location for remote work as access to alternative spaces like shared offices or coworking facilities was restricted.

• Add Periods to RW Models (Peri: Strictly Remote)

[wital1J]

• Pre-Pandemic Period: Remote work was less prevalent and often limited to specific roles or occasional allowances. Many organizations operated under "No Remote Work" or "Remote Work Occasionally Permitted" models. Cultural preferences for in-person collaboration and concerns about productivity and communication barriers limited widespread adoption.
• Peri-Pandemic Period: The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic forced a rapid and widespread shift to remote work. Organizations moved toward "Remote Work Allowed," "Hybrid-Remote," or even "All-Remote" models out of necessity. This period highlighted both the possibilities and challenges of remote work, accelerating the adoption of digital tools and prompting reevaluation of traditional work practices.
• Post-Pandemic Period: As restrictions eased, organizations began to assess the long-term viability of remote work. Many adopted hybrid models, recognizing the benefits of flexibility while reintroducing in-person collaboration where valuable. The experiences during the pandemic have led to more nuanced approaches, with organizations experimenting to find the optimal balance that supports productivity and employee satisfaction.
