Purpose: In recent years remote work has gained popularity due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which forced employers to implement a remote work; growing importance of digital technologies is also important. Therefore, author decided to check the entrepreneurs willingness to implement remote work, taking into account generational differences. Design/methodology/approach: In order to examine the problem, author conducted his own survey (survey at the sample of N = 132 entrepreneurs). The research method used is mainly a standardized survey conducted based on a questionnaire consisting of closed questions and a Likert scale. In addition, basic theoretical issues regarding remote work and differences between generations on the labor market were discussed. Findings: Studies allowed to learn about the feelings of entrepreneurs in relation to the performance of remote work by employees from various generations. Generally, it can be observed a general tendency: the younger employees, the greater the entrepreneurs' propensity to implement remote work. The research hypotheses will be explained thanks to the analysis of the results of the conducted own study. Research limitations/implications: The research presented in this article should be continued. In the following years, they can be enriched with research from the employees perspective, as well as to study the feelings of entrepreneurs regarding employees from the alpha generation. Originality/value: The author's own research enriches the literature by examining employers' attitudes regarding their approach to implementing remote work among employees representing different generations. The results of this research can be used both by employees (in order to learn what their potential employers feel about remote work), but also by managers/ entrepreneurs (knowledge from this research may be useful when managing an enterprise and making personnel decisions).
