COVID-19 pandemic has forced people to stay home and switch to the remote working mode, which - reportedly - affect job satisfaction and productivity. The present study investigates the relationship between the residential environment and worker's job satisfaction and productivity in the remote working mode during the COVID-19 pandemic. A hypothetical structural equation model (SEM) of the influencing factors is constructed based on a literature review and experts' opinions. A survey-based respondents' opinions (n = 2276) were then used to test and analyze the model. The model results reveal that a residential built environment has an indirect effect on both remote work satisfaction and productivity. However, among all the factors, comfortable space (separate space and ergonomic furniture) is found to be the most important. This study presents the importance of adopting a residential built environment to respond to a crisis like a pandemic in achieving the desired comfort level of remote work. Although this study provides a holistic approach, it also proposes a base for the future country-specific analysis by providing some possible countries' differences.
新冠疫情迫使人们居家并转向远程工作模式，据报道，这会影响工作满意度和生产力。本研究调查了新冠疫情期间远程工作模式下居住环境与员工工作满意度和生产力之间的关系。基于文献综述和专家意见构建了影响因素的假设结构方程模型（SEM）。然后，以调查为基础收集了受访者（n = 2276）的意见，用于测试和分析该模型。模型结果显示，居住建筑环境对远程工作满意度和生产力均有间接影响。然而，在所有因素中，舒适的空间（独立空间和符合人体工程学的家具）被认为是最重要的。本研究表明，采用居住建筑环境来应对大流行等危机对于实现理想的远程工作舒适度至关重要。尽管本研究提供了一种整体方法，但也通过指出一些可能存在的国家差异，为未来的国别分析奠定了基础。
