Abstract
There is no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic brought many changes to our day-to-day lives in the Republic of Ireland. A significant such change being the move to a remoteworking model for the majority of workers in Ireland in order to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. In this paper, the impact of this change on work-life balance and employee satisfaction was investigated using quantitative methods in the form of an online questionnaire. Data was collected using Google Forms and responses from 150 participants were analysed. This study found an overall improvement in the work-life balance of workers whilst remote-working during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to before the introduction of remote-working measures. However, no statistically significant change to employee satisfaction was observed after the introduction of remote-working.
Peripheral findings of the research including the impact of remote-working during the COVID-19 pandemic on working parents and across male and female workers. Additionally, the demand for remote-working in the Republic of Ireland was also investigated and has been outlined in this study.
