Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This article explores the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI), remote work (RW) frequency, and counterproductive work behavior (CWB) based on a study conducted in April 2022 with 489 employed individuals in the USA. The major results indicated that higher EI is associated with lower CWB, higher RW frequency is associated with higher CWB, and EI impacts the relationship between RW frequency and CWB. As a result, leaders and managers are encouraged to prioritize clarifying expectations and policies for remote work and to provide tailored support for remote workers. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
