Book excerpt: This research examined productivity, employee well-being, and remote work from a post-pandemic perspective. Earlier research used a theoretical and practical approach to this problem. By using the Social Exchange Theory (SET), as introduced by Homans in 1958 as the foundation for this study, and by adding both the ego-depletion approach and the positive organizational behavior (POB) theory, the author was able to provide perception into how software engineers view productivity during the COVID-19 pandemic. This quantitative correlational approach permitted a more in-depth exploration of computer engineers' attitudes and views locally and globally. The emerging themes of this research include perception, understanding, and the lack of communication, which can cause the overall goal to be unclear. While not all research hypotheses were proven within the study, the research does bring to light the measures needed to clarify and define productivity. The analysis showed both connections and contrasts in how software engineers think. Although some may perceive that geography determines perception, the study provides similarities to common beliefs centering around the topic. While there is a relationship between productivity, employee well-being, and remote work among software engineers, the small relationship is only relevant when comparing productivity to remote work. There is no association between productivity and employee well-being among software engineers and signals no significance as evaluated by productivity.
