This study examines the impact of the adoption of remote work on organisational culture among NGOs in Malaysia, a sector where mission-driven work often relies heavily on inperson engagement. With the increasing adoption of remote work, it is crucial to understand how elements like Location Flexibility, Technological Dependence, and Autonomy and Accountability affect the culture of NGOs. The study focuses on assessing these factors' influence on Organisational Culture, particularly in the context of remote working environments. Data were collected through surveys of NGO employees in Malaysia, capturing the perceptions of how remote work practices shape the cultural dynamics within their organisations. Descriptive, reliability, correlation, and regression analyses were conducted using SPSS software to determine the strength and significance of these relationships. The findings revealed that Technological Dependence plays a critical role in fostering a cohesive organisational culture, highlighting the need for NGOs to invest in technological infrastructure to support communication and collaboration. Conversely, Location Flexibility and Autonomy and Accountability exhibited weaker influences on organisational culture, suggesting that while flexibility and autonomy are important, they may not be central in mission-driven NGOs, where teamwork and in-person interaction are key to achieving collective goals. These results underscore the nuanced nature of remote work in NGOs, where technological tools are paramount, but excessive flexibility and autonomy, if not well managed, may fragment organisational culture. The study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on remote work and its implications for organisational culture, offering practical recommendations for NGOs to balance flexibility with robust communication and accountability frameworks. Further research is encouraged to explore generational differences and capture employers’ perspectives to gain a more comprehensive understanding of remote work’s impact on NGOs. |
