Remote Work as a Factor in Changing a Person’s Labor Behavior

   Relevance. A person’s labor behavior is the most important aspect of his economic behavior. One of the most relevant trends in the modern labor market is the spread of remote forms of employment, influenced by the rapid development of technology and global processes. As a result, there is a change in a person's ideas about work and formation of a new model of behavior in the labor market. These processes are most typical for today's youth.
   The purpose of this work is to identify the main characteristics of the remote work format as a factor in changing the labor behavior of people by summarizing and systematizing the results of modern research.
   Objectives: determining the prerequisites for the development of a remote work format; analysis of types of remote employment; identifying the advantages and disadvantages of remote work; analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the employees’ attitude towards “remote work”; determination of current trends in the remote employment market.
   Methodology. To solve these problems, methods of synthesis and generalization, description and comparative analysis, inductive and genetic approaches, and statistical analysis are used.
   Results. As a result, a conclusion was drawn about the transformation of attitudes and values in the society. Focusing on flexibility, mobility and reducing dependence on the employer leads to a change in society's attitude towards non-standard forms of employment. In this regard, the popularity of non-standard types of employment is growing, a project approach to employment is being formed. Thus, the remote format of work becomes a conscious career choice and a new way of life for a modern person.
   Conclusions. The choice of a remote form of employment can be called one of the manifestations of innovative human behavior. However, these changes lead to a blurring of the boundaries of a person's work and personal life, a confusion of his social roles. Thus, the remote work format has an impact not only directly on the labor behavior of a person, but also affects behavioral patterns related to other areas of life.
