Abstract

This study investigates the impact of remote work on employee well-being and organizational culture in Africa, a context marked by unique socio-economic and infrastructural challenges. Employing a narrative review methodology, the study synthesizes findings from recent literature to explore key trends and solutions. The results highlight significant challenges, such as high rates of burnout, blurred work-life boundaries, and inadequate support systems, particularly in Nigeria, where only 22% of organizations have effective remote work policies. Conversely, the flexibility of remote work contributes to increased productivity and job satisfaction when supported by robust organizational policies. Recommendations include integrating mental health resources, fostering effective communication systems, and adopting flexible work policies tailored to local contexts. These measures can enhance employee well-being, promote inclusivity, and strengthen organizational resilience in the post-COVID global economy.
