Abstract

     The  objective  of  this  research  was  to  survey  the  situation, analyze  and  synthesize  the  guidelines  for  working  remotely  in  the  area  of  the  Eastern  Economic  Corridor  (EEC)  development  project  by  collecting  questionnaires  from  the  total  385  people  sample  group  by  convenience  sampling  method  (Convenience  Sampling).  The  results  showed  that  most  respondents  had  a  high  level  of  knowledge  and  understanding  about  working  remotely.  Furthermore, compared  before  the  epidemic  situation  (COVID-19)  to  the  current  situation, employees  performance  was  at  the  same  level.  However, compared  to  the  period  before  COVID-19, Wave  1  (during  March  2020), Wave  2  (late  December  2020), and  Wave  3  (April  2021  onwards),  the  best  performance  was  before  the  epidemic  situation  and  got  worse  over  time.  Therefore, less  travel  time  was  essential  for  effective  remote  working  during  a  pandemic.  in  contrast, feelings  of  isolation  and  lack  of  communication  with  anyone  were  the  most  important  factors  for  ineffective  working  remotely  in  epidemic  situations  (COVID-19).  The  efficiency  of  the  organization's  management  in  the  situation  of  the  COVID-19  epidemic  was  at  a  moderate  level.  Employees  felt  that  childcare  benefits  support  was  the  least  effective.  The  most  crucial  reason  for  returning  to  the  office  was  meeting  and  interacting  with  colleagues.  And  49.61 %  would  like  to  work  remotely  from  time  to  time  (e.g., twice  a  month).
