Organización de espacios laborales de trabajo en el contexto del trabajo remoto: ventajas y desventajas del BYOD

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify and assess the advantages and disadvantages of implementing BYOD (“Bring your own device”) when organizing a workplace for company employees in the remote work mode. To achieve the goal set in the study, a set of theoretical and empirical research methods was used: theoretical methods (analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization) – to study literary sources related to the research problem; empirical methods (survey method); numerical methods (method of mathematical processing of respondents' answers, ranking method). The article reviews the scientific literature on the problem under study. Based on an expert survey, the most important characteristics of BYOD are identified, and the most noticeable advantages and threats of BYOD are formulated. The results of this study show that BYOD has the potential to deliver significant cost savings to an organization by directly eliminating software and hardware purchases. However, the implementation of BYOD requires painstaking work to prevent threats that emerge with the use of mobile technologies when working with important corporate information. Thus, organizations implementing BYOD can gain a strategic advantage and remain competitive in the market. However, allowing employees to use their own devices in the workplace without any proper threat prevention mechanisms can lead to several potential threats, such as data breaches, malware, and the like.
