Study of Psychological Well Being of Young Professionals Between Remote Professionals and On-Site Professionals: A Comparative Study

Young professionals’ psychological health has been greatly impacted by the quick transition hybrid work models. This study examined the disparities in job satisfaction and burnout between professionals who work remotely and those who work on-site. Forty participants, 20 of whom were remote employees and 20 on-site employees aged 25 to 35, from Nokia Solutions and Networks Pvt. Ltd., participated in a study. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (1996) was used to measure burnout, and the Job Satisfaction Survey (Bellingham, 2004) was used to gauge job satisfaction. Independent sample t-tests revealed no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of job satisfaction (p = .084) or burnout (p = .196). These results suggest that young professionals' levels of job satisfaction and burnout are not substantially impacted by their work environment, whether on-site or remote. Future research directions are discussed, including broader sampling and the inclusion of additional psychological variables, as well as implications for organizational practices.
