Summary/Abstract: The shift to remote work, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has significantly influenced employee engagement, motivation, and performance. This study examines the impact of remote, hybrid, and office-based work environments within Romanian corporations, analyzing how these settings affect employee commitment and productivity. Using a mixed-methods approach, data was collected through validated survey instruments (Q12, MWMS, and IWPQ) from professionals in Eastern Romania. Findings indicate that while remote work enhances flexibility and work-life balance, it also presents challenges such as reduced social interaction and potential engagement decline over time. Key organizational factors such as leadership, workplace culture, and communication strategies play a crucial role in maintaining motivation and productivity in remote settings. The study highlights the need for structured remote work policies, virtual team-building initiatives, and a strong digital workplace culture. These insights contribute to the broader discourse on remote work, offering valuable recommendations for organizations seeking to optimize employee well-being and performance. Future research should explore the long-term sustainability of remote work models and their evolving impact on organizational success.
