The effect of remote working on employee engagement and salary satisfaction

Abstract

This Master Thesis explores the impact of remote working on two crucial workplace factors: Employee engagement and salary satisfaction, focusing on German-speaking office workers in Switzerland. The research seeks to understand how remote working, intensified by the global pandemic, influences these aspects in a Swiss context, known for its high living standards and competitive service sector. The study aims to offer valuable insights for employers, policymakers, and employees to navigate the evolving norms of remote working. Using a quantitative approach, the thesis investigates the relationships between remote work intensity, work arrangements, and their effects on employee engagement and salary satisfaction.
