THE INFLUENCE OF REMOTE WORK ON THE PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH OF AN INDIVIDUAL

Abstract

The article explores the impact of remote work on the psychological health of individuals under wartime conditions and the growing digitalization of professional life. It is determined that the remote work format transforms traditional working conditions, blurs the boundaries between professional and personal life, increases the informational load, and heightens the risks of social isolation and emotional exhaustion. The study analyzes the relationship between anxiety, emotional burnout, and psychological well-being among employees performing their professional duties online. A combination of theoretical analysis, empirical research, and statistical methods was used, including correlation analysis according to Spearman’s rank coefficient. The results indicate a statistically significant connection between anxiety, emotional burnout, and the level of psychological health: higher anxiety levels correlate with increased burnout and reduced psychological well-being.

The ambivalent nature of remote work is confirmed, as it simultaneously provides autonomy and flexibility while intensifying the risks of emotional depletion. The research emphasizes the importance of developing emotional competence, self-regulation skills, and organizational support mechanisms to maintain mental health and prevent professional burnout among remote workers. Based on the obtained results, recommendations are proposed to strengthen the psychological resilience and adaptive capacity of specialists working in digital environments. Prospects for further research include an in-depth study of individual adaptation strategies, the influence of the cultural and social context of wartime, as well as the development of holistic psychological support programs aimed at increasing stress resistance and preventing burnout in professionals working remotely.
