O knihe

Master's Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Psychology - Work, Business, Organisation, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (School Of Business), course: Management and Human Resource Strategy, language: English, abstract: This study examined the mediating role of psychological detachment in the relationship between remote work and productivity. Remote work appears to have contributed in the overall extension of work hours, allowing people to work longer hours and or employers to expand or intensify labor demands. A quantitative research methodology was adopted in this study using the systematic sampling techniques to select a sample of 229 employees whom data were collected from using structured questionnaires. Data collected from the field with the aid of the questionnaire was analyzed using statistical techniques embedded in the SPSS version 22.0. These technipues included correlation, regression and descriptive statistics. Findings of this study indicated that remote work significantly and positively predicts productivity, psychological detachment negatively and insignificantly predicts productivity and psychological detachment negatively mediates the relationship between remote work and productivity. It was therefore recommended that there is the need to emphasize the practice of remote work to enhance productivity of various MMDAs and there should be training and development programs on ICT Working Tools for workers at various MMDAs and other organisation as a whole who are working remotely.
