  • Trust, gender and belonging: rethinking sustainable remote work in the IT sector   Order a copy of this article

    Abstract: As remote work policies evolve, understanding their impact on sustainability goals is crucial. This study explores how virtual employees maintain organisational identification and the support needed for personal, organisational, and sustainability goals. The model was developed using JD-R and gender role theory, and after surveying 265 employees in multinational companies in India, findings reveal that higher job control and supervisor trust enhance remote employees organisational identification, with a stronger effect for women. Research on SDG 8 has been limited, often focusing on an appraisal perspective, leaving the role of remote work underexplored. This study addresses this gap by examining remote employees perceptions through the lens of SDG 8 (decent work for all). Insights highlight the need for data-driven work policy reforms to enhance representation, gender parity, and employee experience. A holistic approach can advance SDG 8, fostering equitable growth and resilience in the evolving remote work landscape.
