During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, vocational counselors in Switzerland more frequently worked from home (WFH) and less frequently worked on-site. The aim of this study was to assess how WFH corresponds with indicators of job performance and occupational wellbeing. More specifically, the current questionnaire study analyzed the increase in WFH, self-reported productivity, distractibility in WFH, current job satisfaction, work-life balance in WFH, and feeling of loneliness. Findings showed that the increase in WFH in vocational counseling psychologists during the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with an increase in productivity and job satisfaction and with lower distractibility in WFH compared to work on-site. However, more frequent WFH was not significantly associated with improved work-life balance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Vocational counselors who shared the office on-site with many colleagues experienced higher feeling of loneliness during WFH. Vocational counselors regarded the condition of WFH as productive and satisfying while work-life balance did not improve. The discussion sheds light on the potential WFH-related increase of boundary management demands.
在2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间，瑞士的职业顾问更多地在家工作（WFH），而在现场工作的频率降低。本研究的目的是评估在家工作与工作绩效指标和职业幸福感之间的关系。更具体地说，当前的问卷调查研究分析了在家工作的增加情况、自我报告的生产力、在家工作时的分心程度、当前的工作满意度、在家工作时的工作与生活平衡以及孤独感。研究结果表明，在COVID-19大流行期间，职业咨询心理学家在家工作的增加与生产力和工作满意度的提高以及与现场工作相比在家工作时较低的分心程度有关。然而，在COVID-19大流行期间，更频繁的在家工作与工作与生活平衡的改善并没有显著关联。与许多同事在现场共享办公室的职业顾问在在家工作期间感到更高的孤独感。职业顾问认为在家工作的状态具有生产力且令人满意，而工作与生活平衡并未改善。讨论揭示了与在家工作相关的边界管理需求可能增加的情况。
