Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic saw a change in the way businesses are being conducted globally. This necessitated a change in the work structure in many organisations. In Amazon, there was a transition to a remote work structure to accommodate continued operations. However, how the employee handles the transition was not founded on literature. Hence, this study aims to assess the remote or hybrid work in Amazon after the effects of Covid changing the future work structure of the company. Guided by qualitative research methodology, this study engaged the management and employees of Amazon Inc in the Republic of Ireland. Through purposive sampling, a sample of 25 participants was used. The interview method of data gathering was employed. With the involvement of 12 participants, it was ascertained that Amazon remote workers in the republic of Ireland accepted the transition to hybrid or remote work without complaint but with an openness of the heart and a willing desire to comply. Also, with an enthusiastic and positive attitude, Amazon employees enjoyed a temporary $2an-hour raise, double pay for overtime, and unlimited unpaid time off. In the same vein, it was discovered that the disadvantage of remote or hybrid work was distractions and work overload. The study concluded that the way transition to hybrid work was handled was uncovered and the advantages and disadvantages of hybrid work for Amazon and its employees. Therefore, it was recommended that the management of Amazon Inc in the republic of Ireland and other similar companies are urged to regulate the setting of the remote workplace of their workers to avoid home distraction.
