Abstract The rise of remote work has redefined traditional workplace structures, providing employees with increased flexibility in managing their work schedules and locations. However, this shift has also led to the blurring of personal and professional boundaries, raising concerns about employee well-being. This study explores the impact of remote work flexibility on mental health, job satisfaction, and work-life balance. While remote work offers autonomy and reduces commuting stress, it also leads to challenges such as overwork, digital fatigue, and difficulty disengaging from work. Theoretical perspectives, including boundary management theory and telepressure, highlight the psychological strain of constant connectivity. Findings suggest that inadequate boundary management contributes to burnout, stress, and diminished job performance. Organizations must implement policies that support structured remote work boundaries to maximize benefits while mitigating adverse effects. By examining these complexities, this research provides insights into how remote work can be optimized to enhance employee well-being and productivity in the evolving digital workspace.
