Employee Engagement and Remote Work Productivity Metrics: An Empirical Study of Digital Workplaces

Abstract

The widespread adoption of remote work has compelled organizations to redefine employee engagement strategies and productivity measurement systems. This empirical study investigates the relationship between employee engagement dimensions and remote work productivity metrics among employees working in IT, education, and service-sector organizations in India. Data were collected from 220 remote and hybrid employees using a structured questionnaire. Statistical techniques including reliability analysis, correlation, and multiple regression were employed to analyze the data. The results reveal a significant positive relationship between employee engagement factors—such as leadership support, work autonomy, digital collaboration, and work-life balance—and remote work productivity. The findings emphasize the importance of engagement-driven management practices for sustaining productivity in virtual work environments. The study provides actionable insights for managers, HR professionals, and policymakers in designing effective remote work frameworks.
