As the new normalcy set in, new phenomenon and workplace conflicts emerged. But remote work is no novel way of working, as it emerged as a legitimate mode of labor during the early days of Industrial Revolution, with the modern concept of remote work being proposed decades before the Internet was widely available to the public. This Master’s Report is a literature review that outlines the context of remote work, its current position in office work cultures with emphasis on the transition to remote work in 2020, and its potential future direction in what kind of position remote work would have in terms of work organization and work practice. Outside of academic journals, a variety of sources such as historical accounts, law review and investigative news reports have been considered to paint a better picture of the significance of remote work.
