Transitioning from onsite to distance management:
The impact of remote work on managerial practices and well-being.
Changes and transitions are an inevitable part of the dynamic organizational life, and they are vital for organizations to adapt to external and internal influences and remain competitive. These influences are likely to alter the traditional practices in organizations, requiring a new normal in terms of organizational thinking, strategy, and management practices. Both management and leadership are essential in organizational changes, and changes and transitions in organizations affect all levels of management. However, management and leadership practices and managers’ well-being within transitions are underexplored.
he aim of this Ph.D. research is to enhance the understanding of the experiences of lower-level management (i.e., first-line and second-line management) during the transition from onsite to distance management in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
