ABSTRACT
The importance of studying organizations' continuity of follow-up mechanisms is raised by the absence of research conducted on the follow-up mechanisms, especially during sudden pandemics. Therefore, this study attempts to research the continuity of follow-up mechanisms organizations use to monitor projects progress and accomplishment. Also, explore the predictors, problems, and challenges for managing remote working. Follow-up is the monitoring and evaluation of project progress against standards to enable management to make decisions for interventions towards project completion through team communication. Findings show that continuity of follow-up practice during COVID-19 is influenced by remote monitoring challenges and Organization compliance to pandemic restrictions (R2 = 0.35). Organization compliance to pandemic restrictions is a function of three determinants related to the organization's behavior regarding monitoring structure, internal policies, and communication and resource facilities (R2 = 0.54). Researchers used the mixed method approach consist of quantitative and qualitative methods. A survey was randomly distributed to an achievable sample of 158 respondents, followed by interviews with twelve decision-makers, including managers and executives in selected organizations. The study suggests more technological tools and applications for improving followup performance and overcoming remote monitoring challenges. © 2021 IEEE.
