Abstract
BACKGROUND: Corporate governance research has continued to receive scholarly and practitioner attention with regard to firm performance, sustainability, environmental issues, and profit maximisation, among others. With the emergence of COVID-19 the gradual retention of remote working as a work design or part of the work design is becoming the norm. How corporate governance dimensions will be practised within the remote work context in the post-Covid 19 era in the telecommunications industry in Nigeria is the focus of this research.
METHODOLOGY: The correlation design and quantitative research method were adopted for data collection and analysis. About 150 participants working in the telecommunications industry in Nigeria were sampled through the convenience sampling technique. Data were analysed through Pearson Correlation Coefficient.
RESULTS: The study shows that there is a significant and positive relationship between accountability, transparency and fairness and results-oriented performance of corporate governance practice and remote work in the telecommunications industry in Nigeria. However, there is a significant and negative relationship between challenges of corporate governance practice and remote work within the same context.
CONTRIBUTIONS: Findings confirm previous studies in the literature which found that accountability, transparency and fairness and results-oriented performance have a significant and positive relationship with remote work in the telecommunications industry in Nigeria while there is a significant and negative relationship between challenges of corporate governance practice and remote work in the same research context.
CONCLUSION: Telecommunications companies in Nigeria and other industry players intending to adopt remote work as a work design should understand that establishing rules, regulations and guidelines will enhance employees’ remote work experience. Also, monitoring mechanism, constant supervisory assessment and oversight, and minimisation of corporate governance challenges are necessary to achieve/sustain positive remote work experience for all parties (the default office/managers and remote workers).
