Broschak Featured in WalletHub

Joe Broschak, associate professor of management and organizations in the Eller College of Management, was featured in an April 10 WalletHub article discussing the work from home outlook.

During the Coronavirus pandemic, many businesses started to shift to a work from home structure to stay in business. Although life has resumed to normal, many organizations have decided to keep this structure.

The demand to work from home is said to continue to be strong throughout the rest of 2023 and increase well into the future.

“Performance—both the quantity and quality of work—,strength of culture and extent of employee and manager satisfaction and commitment, and the ability to innovate or provide customer service are the three indicators to pay attention to for assessing if work-from-home arrangements are working,” says Broschak. “Certainly, these indicators may vary somewhat depending on an organization’s business.”

Broschak joined the Eller College of Management in 2007 after teaching as an assistant professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He earned his PhD in Organization Science from the University of Texas at Austin in 1999. His areas of research include social capital, social embeddedness, dynamics of inter-organizational relationships, managerial mobility, organizational change, the evolution of labor and product markets, organizational demography, the determinants and consequences of using nonstandard workers and labor market intermediaries.
