The purpose of the study is understood from the perspective of the impact of remote work on corporate employees. Design/methodology/approach: Data for the study was collected from employees working at a corporation in Bydgoszcz, Poland.

Findings: The results of the study indicate that ergonomics closely influences job satisfaction. In addition, the study confirmed the hypothesis that remote work has a significant impact on task performance.

Therefore, future research could focus more on the impact of remote work on corporate culture in other parts of Poland.

Social implications: This study offers support for corporate employees, providing insights into how the work environment can be improved, thereby enhancing work and employee satisfaction.
