Scientific and technological developments, especially in the field of information and communication technology, have caused significant changes in people's daily lives, and remote work has been promoted as a new approach in managing work and performing activities, especially in the conditions created by the Corona pandemic. This study examines the concept of remote work in a special framework that includes the Corona period and the fifth industrial revolution and emphasizes the need for comprehensive scientific attention and innovative methods. To solve these challenges, this research presents a comprehensive model by applying the soft systems methodology (SSM), which takes into account the perspectives and limitations of different stakeholders and aims to increase the implementation of remote work. Using systematic methods and qualitative data analysis, this study develops the model in a flexible and comprehensive way. In addition, it highlights the role of technology, organizational culture and management strategies in reducing social isolation and increasing telework efficiency. The findings emphasize the dynamic aspect of the remote work ecosystem and emphasize the importance of multifaceted solutions for organizational success in the era of the fifth industrial revolution.
