Abstract

This study investigates the psychological effects of remote work on team dynamics and collaboration in multinational corporations. Utilizing case studies and surveys from companies in Japan and Germany, the research highlights challenges such as communication barriers and isolation, as well as benefits like increased flexibility and autonomy. Findings suggest strategies for improving remote team cohesion, including regular virtual meetings and team-building activities. The paper advocates for policies that balance remote work benefits with the need for effective collaboration.
