This paper reports on the experiences of working with new digital tools along with the experience of new remote work. We explore the emotional experiences of working from home during the first three months of the COVID-19 pandemic and their implications. There were two groups of respondents participating in the study, those who had experience working remotely before the pandemic [digital natives] and those who started working remotely during the pandemic [digital immigrants]. The results show that emotional experiences while working from home do not differ depending on the profession, age, gender, length of experience and from previous remote work. This suggests that the digital natives had to deal with the same emotions as the digital immigrants. The study found that independent external changes determine the growth of competence in employees, in this particular case, to work remotely. Working in conditions that are difficult for everyone obliges employees to cooperate, even across company boundaries, and increases each other's competencies. In such situations, the management is required to be emotionally involved and closer to the employee.
本文报告了使用新数字工具以及新远程工作的经验。我们探讨了 COVID-19 大流行前三个月在家工作的情感体验及其影响。研究中有两组受访者，一组是在大流行前有远程工作经验的人[数字原住民]，另一组是在大流行期间开始远程工作的人[数字移民]。结果表明，远程工作时的情绪体验与职业、年龄、性别、远程工作经验长短无关。这表明数字原住民必须应对与数字移民相同的情绪。研究发现，独立的外部变化决定了员工能力的增长，在这种特殊情况下，就是远程工作的能力。在对每个人来说都困难的条件下工作迫使员工进行合作，即使是跨越公司界限，也会提高彼此的能力。在这种情况下，管理层需要投入情感，与员工更亲近。
