Purpose: The aim of the study is to analyze and evaluate the massive expansion of organizational spaces resulting from the creation of remote workplaces during the COVID-19 period in employees' homes. Design/methodology/approach: The work uses mixed methods with the use of the spatial trend of Work Design theoretical orientation. A spatial model of work stations was constructed and the correlation between the model and financing, time of use and the results of the tested variant of work organization was statistically verified. Findings: The COVID-19 period is dominated by the transfer of tasks from stationary positions, which mainly have repetitive nature. This is matched by the adaptation of physical space and cyberspace (technology), with various levels of social space features of remote workplaces. Statistical verification shows strong correlations between the features of positions and the determinants of the use of remote work as a variant of work organization. Research limitations/implications: Subjectivity of the analysis due to the use of mixed methods in the part of qualitative research. Future research should focus on (1) work in the context of multifunctionality of the home, (2) creating new work rules, e.g. new time-space patterns of work, and (3) developing criteria for creating remote workplaces at home. Practical implications: The results of the study can be used as input data for the design of remote workplaces in organizations. Originality/value: The work fills the research gap in the design of work forms, showing the need for a modular approach to the development of work systems.(original abstract)
