There's a press release circulating along with an article or two derived from the press release, one of which states that "[w]orking remotely causes 243 percent more problems than working together in the same location."
I've requested the actual study that has generated this "data," as per the note on the press release, saying that the "full survey results are available on request," hoping that it will contain detail about who participated in the study ("more than 500 individuals"); how the study was conducted; what the respondents' organizational roles were; what their organizations focused on; what the methodology was for data interpretation; and the like but, until I receive that, all I have available is what everyone else citing this study has, i.e., the press release.
Because the results are being quoted--and passed around--as if this is bona fide research, I feel compelled to ask people not to start referring to this "study" until we know whether the study was conducted according to genuine research protocols and whether the conclusions as stated in the release hold up.
