Abstract:

The shift to remote work has fundamentally transformed organizational communication, presenting both opportunities and challenges for virtual team interaction. This study explores the key communication challenges faced in remote work environments, including technological barriers, reduced non-verbal cues, and difficulties in maintaining team cohesion. The research examines how factors such as technological adoption, management practices, and employee communication skills influence virtual collaboration. By applying theoretical frameworks such as the Technology Acceptance Theory and Technological Determinism, this study provides insights into effective communication strategies for remote teams. The empirical analysis, based on survey data, evaluates the impact of remote work conditions on team efficiency and identifies best practices for enhancing virtual communication. Findings highlight the importance of structured communication, technology adaptation, and clear organizational guidelines to improve remote team dynamics. The study concludes with recommendations for organizations to foster engagement, reduce misunderstandings, and optimize communication in virtual work settings.
