COVID19 pandemic is pushing business organizations to cope in newer, more resilient ways. In this study, in-depth qualitative research was conducted using Weick's sensemaking framework (1995) to give organizational leaders a snapshot of how individuals grappled with sensemaking during this time. The enactment of sensemaking for individuals occurred based on four major COVIDian realities: life during the lockdown, work from home, moments of reflection, and struggles and emotions. The implications of the findings are two folds. First, the dynamic nature of extracted cues coupled with greater technology use increased enactment frequency amongst individuals leading to a collapse in sensemaking. Secondly, we propose that this collapse has a significant impact on human cognition, which will further affect the nature of work as well as the meaning of work in life.
新冠疫情正促使商业组织以更新颖、更具韧性的方式应对。在本研究中，我们运用韦克的意义建构框架（1995年）进行了深入的定性研究，以便让组织领导者了解在此期间个人是如何进行意义建构的。个人意义建构的形成基于四个主要的新冠现实情况：封锁期间的生活、居家办公、反思时刻以及挣扎与情绪。研究结果的影响有两方面。首先，提取线索的动态性质以及更多技术的使用增加了个人的建构频率，导致意义建构的崩溃。其次，我们认为这种崩溃对人类认知有重大影响，这将进一步影响工作的性质以及工作在生活中的意义。
