This study explores the impact of remote work on employee engagement and organizational commitment in the post-pandemic era. With the shift to flexible work arrangements, organizations face new challenges and opportunities in maintaining workforce motivation and loyalty. The objective of this research is to examine how remote work influences employees' emotional and psychological connection to their work and organization. A quantitative approach was employed, using survey data collected from 210 respondents across various sectors who have experienced remote work settings. The data were analyzed using regression analysis to determine the relationship between remote work variables and levels of engagement and commitment. The findings indicate that remote work has a significant positive impact on employee engagement when supported by clear communication, autonomy, and technological infrastructure. However, the study also highlights a moderate decline in organizational commitment due to perceived isolation and reduced social interaction. These results suggest that while remote work can enhance individual performance and satisfaction, organizations need to implement strategies that reinforce a sense of belonging and shared purpose. The study contributes to the understanding of evolving work models and offers insights for human resource practices in fostering a committed and engaged remote workforce.
