Abstract:

Remote working is becoming a growing trend within all technological & organizational business. However, in Export Management, its growing trend has voiced concerns over the containment of remote working and the determined impact it has on business. Communication continues to involve in Export Management especially, with the explosion of technology has meant that flexible working legislations have been introduced. However, there are managerial personnel who adhere to remote working without determining the effect it has on export performance. There are number of factors that have not been addressed and this article looks to highlight & investigate the impact remote working has on export management, how it can be managed and the influence it has on effectiveness, productivity and sales in export organizations, not to mention from an employee personnel point of view, identifying the positive role remote working may have on employee personnel and whether it develops a positive working environment and determine the attitude towards personnel within Export Management organizations. Because many of these antecedents can be controlled managerially, these findings suggest important ways in which a remote employee's work performance can be enhanced, through the intermediary effect of improved remote work self‐efficacy. The research will be tested with self-efficacy theory and critical research & historical evidence to investigate the global impact remote-working employees have, a type of psychology model that determines the adoptions of positive psychology. The current study also provides a basis for future research in the remote work area through its development and testing of a remote management framework.
