Do you like working by yourself when you're at the office? Well, we've got some good news for you. A recent study has found that people who have high autonomy and emotional stability, are better suited to remote work locations. "Any organization, regardless of the extent to which people work remotely, needs to consider the well-being of their employees as they implement more flexible working practices," the researchers wrote.
"A total of 403 working adults were surveyed for the two studies that made up the research," said lead author Sara Perry. Emotional stability, Perry explained, "Captures how even-keeled someone is or, on the opposite end, how malleable their emotions are. An example would be if something stressful happens at work, a person who is high on emotional stability would take it in stride, remain positive and figure out how to address it."
It was ultimately found that people with high levels of autonomy and emotional stability fared well and mostly thrived in remote locations as opposed to people with low emotional stability who felt strained in such an environment. Well, looks like working by yourself isn't all that bad. Stay tuned for more updates.
