Following the subsidence of the COVID-19 pandemic, remote work and telecommuting have gained increasing prevalence. The widespread adoption of remote work offers several benefits, including increased perceived autonomy and reduced commuting time for employees. However, by limiting physical contact between employees and increasing their isolation in the workplace, remote work can also decrease the extent to which employees assist others, which can have negative effects on organizational development. Considering the inherent limitations of remote work, it is imperative to investigate approach of remedying its deficiencies and leveraging its strengths to yield positive outcomes.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore how employees are more likely to engage in helping others when working from home and to develop a framework for understanding organizational citizenship behavior in remote work. To facilitate this study, prior research on organizational citizenship behaviors in remote work was reviewed. Based on the findings of the literature review, an empirical study is being conducted to examine the impact of leader behaviors on organizational citizenship behaviors in remote work. An oral presentation on the study's findings is planned for the The Japanese Association of Administrative Science.
