The COVID-19 pandemic made working from home (WFH) the new way of working. This study investigates the impact that family-work conflict, social isolation, distracting environment, job autonomy, and self-leadership have on employees' productivity, work engagement, and stress experienced when WFH during the pandemic.
This cross-sectional study analyzed data collected through an online questionnaire completed by 209 employees WFH during the pandemic. The assumptions were tested using hierarchical linear regression.
Employees' family-work conflict and social isolation were negatively related, while self-leadership and autonomy were positively related, to WFH productivity and WFH engagement. Family-work conflict and social isolation were negatively related to WFH stress, which was not affected by autonomy and self-leadership.
Individual- and work-related aspects both hinder and facilitate WFH during the COVID-19 outbreak.
新冠疫情大流行使得居家办公成为了一种新的工作方式。本研究旨在探讨家庭-工作冲突、社会隔离、分心的环境、工作自主性和自我领导力对员工在疫情期间居家办公时的生产力、工作投入和所经历的压力的影响。
本横断面研究通过在线问卷收集了 209 名在疫情期间居家办公的员工的数据,并通过分层线性回归分析了这些数据。
员工的家庭-工作冲突与社会隔离呈负相关,而自我领导力和自主性与居家办公的生产力和工作投入呈正相关。家庭-工作冲突和社会隔离与居家办公压力呈负相关,而自主性和自我领导力对居家办公压力没有影响。
在新冠疫情爆发期间,个人和工作相关的因素都对居家办公产生了阻碍和促进作用。
