TY - THES A1 - Grigo, Tobias T1 - Das Homeoffice in der Verwaltung – Eine Zwischenbilanz und Erfahrungsberichte zu Best Practices, Weiterentwicklung und Herausforderungen N2 - The home office has become established in the offices of numerous companies and administrations since the events of the global COVID-19 pandemic and has posed numerous challenges. Particularly in Germany, administrative authorities were confronted with the challenge of quickly responding to the events of the pandemic and taking appropriate measures to curb the spread of the virus in the offices of administrations. This paper examines the use of the home office in administration during the pandemic by combining quantitative and qualitative methods such as statistical analyses, interviews, and case studies. In doing so, it sheds light on the experiences of employees as well as the challenges and potentials of home office use. The context aims to demonstrate that the investigation of home office use in administration during the pandemic was crucial in understanding the effects of the newly designed work practices on administrative organizations to better shape future work models. The aim of this study is to gain insights that contribute to the further development of the home office concept in administration. This includes evaluating the long-term effects on work efficiency, work-life balance, and corporate culture. These insights contribute to assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of the home office in administration and lay the groundwork for how optimized work arrangements can be created. They also provide valuable insight into the adaptability of administrative structures to continuously changing work environments. The results of this study will help develop practical solutions and optimize the implementation of the home office in administration. The findings lay new foundations for future research that could address further aspects of home office use in administration, such as long-term effects on organizational performance and employee satisfaction, as well as the development of guidelines for effective implementation of hybrid work models.
