Excerpt:
This study examines the relationships between technological, organizational, environmental, and individual factors and IT employees’ perceptions of how remote work contributes to their performance, using an extended Technology‐Organization‐Environment (TOE) framework for comparative analysis between India and North Macedonia. A quantitative research design was employed, collecting survey data from 421 IT professionals working remotely – 213 from India and 208 from North Macedonia, which served as a basis for a multiple linear regression analysis. The findings indicate that organizational, environmental, and individual factors play a significant role in the relations between these factors and the perceived contribution of remote work to performance, whereas technological factors do not exhibit a statistically significant relation. The cross‐country comparison revealed that, despite demographic and experiential differences, both countries exhibited similar trends in the determinants of remote work performance. This study contributes to the growing body of research on remote work by extending the TOE framework to include individual factors. It offers practical insights for organizations seeking to optimize remote work strategies by focusing on management support, home‐work environment improvements, and employee well‐being. The findings are particularly relevant for IT companies looking to enhance remote‐work productivity and adaptability in diverse regional contexts.
