Abstrakt: The opportunities offered by information technologies in the information society have enhanced business life flexibility, so the working environment has become portable from traditional offices to outside offices. Major public institutions have preferred remote work intensively, which has been a must since the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. Therefore, the research aims at identification of the remote work benefits remote work to achieve economic efficiency in public institutions. From this perspective, a desktop study was carried out to provide remote work rationale from a theoretical perspective. The Knowledge-Based Economy (KBE), Feminization of the Workplace, The Flexible-Firm Model, Generational Theory, and Social Exchange Theory in the paper's theoretical background determine the remote work significance. The primary conclusions are that using remote work may give public institutions opportunities, such as encouraging women to enter the labour market and designing future working environments for new generations, and the advantages, such as securing a faster communication structure and having a more skilled labour force to achieve economic efficiency.
