As remote work gained popularity in the wake of the pandemic and is expected to continue to be a significant part of future workplaces, the issues of lower well-being and organizational commitment in employees have come to the forefront. Despite its benefits, these challenges hinder the long-term adoption of remote work. Research has yet to explore strategies for maintaining well-being and commitment in remote settings through dual aspects of well-being. In this study, following a conceptual approach, we integrate two distinct and complementary approaches to well-being, Hedonic and Eudaimonic, in the remote work context, using the overarching framework of the conservation of resources theory. It contributes to the literature by addressing dual aspects of well-being in remote work and expands understanding of employee engagement and workplace spirituality in remote work contexts. The study offers practical insights for organizations and employees to sustain well-being and commitment in remote work environments.
