Lessened work motivation[edit]
Skill variety has the strongest relationship with internal work motivation.[71] Jobs that allow workers to use a variety of skills increase workers' internal work motivation. If remote workers are limited in teamwork opportunities and have fewer opportunities to use a variety of skills,[80] they may have lower internal motivation towards their work. Also, perceived social isolation can lead to less motivation.[58]
Motivator-hygiene theory[81] differentiates between motivating factors (motivators) and dissatisfying factors (hygienes). Factors that are motivators such as recognition and career advancement may be lessened with remote work. When remote workers are not physically present, they may be "out of sight, out of mind" to other workers in the office.[60]
Not being in the office face-to-face can lead to workers not being able to do their work to the fullest potential because of lack of encouragement.[82]
Distractions[edit]
Though working in an office has its distractions, it is often argued that remote work involves even greater distractions.[30] According to one study, children are ranked as the number one distractions, followed by spouses, pets, neighbors, and solicitors. The lack of proper tools and facilities also serves as a major distraction,[83][better source needed] though this can be mitigated by using short-term coworking rental facilities. Also, some countries such as Romania have tasked the national labour inspectorate the burden of carrying out checks at remote workers' residences to see if the work environment meets the requirements.[84] Workers might not be effective at there job because of the lack of monitoring hence they would be more tempted to do other things during work hours causing them not to do their work effectively.[54]
Boundaries between work and non-work spheres may be gendered[edit]
A survey study on couples working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic found that female workers with children in their household perceived the home office environment as significantly more exhausting, suffered longer working hours and blurred boundaries than male workers and female workers without children in their household. Women without children in their household experienced mainly positive consequences for working due to better concentration.[85]
