The survey was conducted to assess the impact of remote work on job satisfaction.
Given the importance of flexibility and technology in remote work, the study examines whether
technology use increases employee stress and whether employees' time management and work
policies affect work-life balance in remote work companies in Nigeria. Primary and secondary
sources of data where use to collect information for this study. A questionnaire was used to elicit
information from 323 respondents who constitute the sample for this study. The data were analysed
using the Chi-Square test to test the hypotheses formulated for the study. The findings revealed that
poor technological support increases employee stress levels and that work policies affect employee
autonomy. The study recommended that remote companies should provide their employees with
effective technological tools to enable them to carry out their duties without stress, and formulate
more favourable work policies that would enable employees to enjoy greater autonomy.
