The widespread shift to remote and hybrid working arrangements has profound implications for organizational culture and employee commitment. This paper develops a conceptual model of how remote work reshapes cultural norms, communication, trust, and identity, and in turn influences employees’ engagement, affective commitment, and discretionary effort. We propose that remote work introduces both enabling and constraining mechanisms for example, increased autonomy and flexibility enhance intrinsic motivation, but physical distance and weaker social cues may erode shared values and belonging. We integrate insights from organizational culture theory, social identity theory, and engagement/commitment literature to articulate moderating boundary conditions (e.g. leadership style, technology affordances, trust, boundary management). Implications for managers and future empirical research directions are discussed.
