Abstract:
This study delves into the dynamics of work alienation in contrasting environments: traditional on-site workplaces and remote home offices. Anchored in Karl Marx's theory of alienation, this research investigates whether remote working exacerbates or introduces new forms of alienation. It reveals a complex relationship between work setting and alienation, notably finding a decrease in self-alienation among home office employees. This suggests that remote working can mitigate certain alienation aspects, challenging traditional views on Marx's concept in modern work contexts.
