ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF REMOTE WORK TECHNOLOGIES ON TEAM COORDINATION, PERFORMANCE METRICS, AND EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE IN REAL ESTATE, NAVI MUMBAI

This research undertakes a comparative investigation into the levels of productivity, performance, and job satisfaction among employees engaged in onsite versus remote work within the real estate sector of Navi Mumbai. In response to evolving workplace practices influenced by technological advancements and changing workforce expectations, this study critically examines the operational implications of both work settings. Employing a convergent parallel mixed-methods design, the study integrates quantitative data from structured surveys with qualitative insights derived from semi-structured interviews. The results indicate that onsite work environments tend to facilitate stronger interpersonal collaboration and expedited managerial processes, whereas remote work arrangements contribute positively to individual output and employee morale, largely due to increased autonomy and reduced travel-related fatigue. Notably, performance metrics were found to be contingent on the extent of organizational infrastructure and communication mechanisms in place. The study underscores the potential efficacy of a hybrid work model that amalgamates the advantages of both formats. By addressing an underexplored area within the context of urban Indian real estate enterprises, this research provides substantive contributions to human resource strategy and workplace policy formulation, while offering a valuable reference point for future empirical inquiries.
