Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
The rise of remote work has transformed the modern workplace, offering flexibility and a better work-life balance
for employees around the world (Bloom et al., 2015). This trend, accelerated by technological advancements and the
COVID-19 pandemic, allows employees to work from home or any location with internet access (Gajendran &
Harrison, 2007). While remote work provides numerous benefits, it also presents challenges that organizations and
employees must address to remain productive and engaged.
One of the main benefits of remote work is increased flexibility. Employees can manage their time more
effectively, which often leads to higher job satisfaction and reduced stress. Furthermore, remote work eliminates the
need for daily commutes, saving time and reducing transportation expenses. Many employees report feeling more
empowered to control their schedules, allowing them to better balance personal and professional responsibilities.
However, remote work also comes with significant challenges. Isolation is a common issue, as employees miss out
on face-to-face interactions and team bonding, which are important for mental well-being and collaboration. Studies
have shown that prolonged isolation can lead to feelings of loneliness, reducing job satisfaction and affecting mental
health (Ozcelik & Barsade, 2018). Additionally, remote workers may struggle to maintain boundaries between work
and personal life, leading to overwork and burnout.
To make remote work successful, companies need to implement strategies that support employee well-being and
productivity. Providing tools for virtual collaboration, setting clear work-life boundaries, and encouraging regular
team check-ins can help mitigate the challenges of remote work. By balancing flexibility with structured support,
organizations can create a sustainable remote work environment that benefits both employers and employees (Larson
& DeChurch, 2020).
(Adapted from Remote Work and Employee Well-being by Bloom, Ozcelik, and others)

A. Remote work allows complete freedom for employees without any challenges.
B. Companies benefit from remote work as employees are more isolated and less engaged.
C. Remote work requires employees to spend more time commuting to improve productivity.
