Background of the Study
Remote work, once seen as a temporary arrangement, has gained significant traction globally due to technological advancements and societal shifts towards greater work-life balance. Remote work, defined as a work arrangement where employees perform their duties outside of a traditional office environment, typically from home or other locations (Gajendran & Harrison, 2024), has become a common practice for many organizations. The COVID-19 pandemic played a critical role in popularizing this model, forcing companies to adopt remote work as a necessity rather than an option.
The Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC), one of the country's leading beverage manufacturers, is no exception to this shift. As part of the global Coca-Cola system, NBC has been exploring hybrid and remote work models to adapt to changing work environments and enhance operational flexibility. Despite its growing adoption, there are concerns regarding the impact of remote work on employee performance, collaboration, and engagement, particularly within sectors like manufacturing and distribution that traditionally require in-person interaction.
In Kebbi State, where NBC has a substantial operational presence, remote work has become part of the company’s strategy to improve work-life balance, reduce overhead costs, and maintain business continuity. However, while remote work offers benefits such as increased flexibility and reduced commuting time, it may also present challenges such as isolation, communication barriers, and decreased performance. This study seeks to appraise the impact of remote work on employee performance at NBC in Kebbi State, examining both the positive and negative effects of this work arrangement on individual productivity and organizational outcomes.
Statement of the Problem
The implementation of remote work has become an integral part of the operations at Nigerian Bottling Company in Kebbi State. However, despite the growing adoption of this model, there is a lack of comprehensive research on its effects on employee performance within this specific organizational context. Understanding how remote work influences performance, productivity, and employee satisfaction is critical for organizations seeking to optimize this model. This study aims to fill the gap by evaluating how remote work at NBC impacts employee performance, focusing on factors such as motivation, productivity, and work engagement.
