With the outbreak of the current Covid-19 pandemic, work life has changed dramatically. Remote working has become a monumental topic for the business world. This change, in fact, induces some notable impacts for work-life and is likely to sustain for a very long time, as companies increasingly report working outside the office and tend to continue adopting this even after the pandemic. In this regard, this book is based on the idea that a comprehensive approach on remote working needs to be provided with a multi-dimensional perspective. This edited book is based on chapters in the fields of remote working practices addressing current critical debates and strings together with theories and findings through novel data-driven insights. In this context, the book presents the ongoing discussion on remote working by including studies mainly on work-life balance, work-family conflict, leadership, motivation, HR policies, ethics, training and other related topics. The studies in this book are expected to provide answers to questions raised by problems resulting from remote working practices.

Self-leadership has emerged as an important theory to substitute for designated leaders through utilizing the potential of every single employee. Studies that investigate the antecedents of this concept have generally focused on dispositional factors and neglected the contextual influences. This research aims to fill this gap by conducting two sequential studies. The quantitative part focuses on transformational leadership and high-performance work systems as situational and also on proactive personality as a dispositional antecedent of self-leadership. As outcomes, work engagement and organizational citizenship behavior are investigated. For the second part, in-depth interviews are conducted to broaden the set of possible antecedents and consequences of self-leadership.
