Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has catalyzed a global shift towards remote work models, transforming business practices worldwide. Consequently, it has become essential for organizations to identify candidates amenable to remote work during recruitment. This study aims to explore the relationship between individuals' soft skills and their intention to adopt remote work behavior. Despite extensive research on remote working methods, there remains a limited understanding of the key factors driving their sustainable and effective adoption. To address this, we propose the Soft Skills Remote Work Culture Acceptance Model (SSRWCA), an integrated model based on the Reasoned Action Theory that includes soft skills. This study is particularly significant in the information technology sector, where remote work is increasingly prevalent. Incorporating soft skills—such as decision-making, behavioral, management, and negotiation skills—into recruitment can help companies effectively embrace remote work culture and select suitable candidates. Additionally, this study provides a novel perspective, enhancing the understanding of remote work and guiding future research.
