The study found that remote working significantly enhances employee performance and business performance (β = 0.42, p < 0.01). Through the role of job crafting, it was discovered that the variables significantly affects the relationship between remote working and employee business performance (β = 0.29, p < 0.01, β – 0.25, p < 0.05). The findings resulted in an increase in both productivity and employee satisfaction. As per the findings of the study, efforts to create new jobs have the potential to improve the outcomes of remote work for both employee and businesses.
