由于 Covid-19 大流行，2020/21 年在家在线远程工作的需求显着增加。这种不可预见的情况迫使个人和组织迅速培训员工并采用在线工作方式，力求保持与办公室工作相同的生产力水平。本文概述了一项针对在家工作的人进行的调查，旨在确定这种工作方式的变化带来的挑战和机遇。疫情爆发之初，许多员工在适应使用在线工具以及将工作时间与日常生活和家庭承诺结合起来方面面临困难。然而，结果表明，受访者在短时间内成功地利用协作平台和视频会议等工具积累了数字工作所需的经验和知识。很大一部分受访者认识到在家远程工作时消除出行时间的优势，这也对环境和二氧化碳排放产生积极影响。然而，也发现了一些缺点，例如缺乏工作日期间的面对面讨论和非正式会议。本文讨论了自我决定理论，发现该理论可以解释员工如何高效、快速地适应技术。
The demand of online remote working from home significantly increased in 2020/21 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This unforeseen situation has forced individuals and organisations to rapidly train employees and adopt the use of on-line working styles, seeking to maintain the same level of productivity as working from the office. The paper outlines a survey conducted amongst people working from home to identify the challenges and opportunities this change in workstyle offers. At the beginning of the pandemic, many employees faced difficulties adapting to using online tools and combining their working hours with daily routines and family commitments. However, the results show that within a short period of time the respondents had managed to develop the necessary experience and knowledge for digital working utilising tools such as collaboration platforms and video conferencing. A large proportion of respondents recognised the advantage of eliminating travelling time when working remotely from home which also has a positive impact on the environment and CO2 emissions. However, some drawbacks have been identified such as the lack of face-to-face discussion and informal meetings during working days. The Self-Determination Theory is discussed within the context of this paper and it has been found that the theory could provide an explanation of the efficient and rapid adaptation of the technology be employees.
