Managing work from home as a job responsibility of a 21st century manager

The diploma thesis deals with the tendency of employees to procrastinate when working from home and verifies whether there is a relationship between the employee's personality characteristics and the investigated behavior. As a part of the academic literature research, I focused on the key aspects of working from home, the specifics of managing employees in a virtual environment and the definition of procrastination. For research purposes, I used the Theory of Planned Behavior, which is used to predict behavior, and supplemented it with the Big Five Inventory to describe the personalities of individual respondents. I collected the data using an online questionnaire and then evaluated them using statistical methods. Through the interpreted data, I answered the research questions. The results of the research revealed a slight tendency to procrastinate among the respondents. The risk factors of procrastination were then defined for individual groups of personalities and the basic rules for working with them were outlined. The results of the research should serve managers as a basis for managing employees in a virtual environment.
