Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic contributed to the accelerated implementation of remote work, leading to a decline in employee attitudes toward organizational commitment and productivity following the shift to a virtual workplace. This shift has resulted in high turnover rates and difficulty achieving continued success. Previous research has focused on the impact of remote work on employee productivity but lacks data showing how to improve employee attitudes toward commitment in a remote work environment. This study used a fixed design with correlational methods to determine how employee attitudes toward commitment have been affected by the shift to a remote workplace, leading to decreased productivity and organizational commitment. The purpose of this study was to increase understanding of the reasons behind the decline in employee attitudes toward organizational commitment and productivity following the transition to a remote workplace. The findings indicate a statistically significant relationship between employee attitudes toward their organization, productivity, and organizational commitment.
