Teleworking has been shown itself as a new way of providing services outside the classic working environment. Information technology allows this new way of working. The old model of providing services in a specific place, usually within the business space, has become flexible. Information technology makes the world smaller and smaller and workspaces increasingly diverse.

The digital transformation of industry is driving the advance of agile work structures and, in particular, home office working. This article examines the question of what effect the physical distance of employees from the company has on its productivity and innovation potential, and what challenges are posed to a remote leadership.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo buscar quais as mudanças foram feitas no setor educacional para que fosse dado continuidade as atividades da instituição durante a pandemia do COVID-19 em 2020, visando responder se as instituições pretendem, ou não, adotar as mudanças permanentemente após o fim da pandemia. Para os resultados deste artigo, foram feitas três entrevistas com responsáveis de instituições de ensino diferente, sendo as duas primeiras com escola franquiada, onde uma era de cursos de informática e outra de idiomas, e a última foi uma escola de convênio do ensino do fundamental ao médio. Os resultados foram apurados e notou-se que as duas franquiadas, por mais que queiram adotar as mudanças, não possuem autonomia para isso, já a escola conveniada possui e quer continuar com as mudanças, tornando-se um sistema de ensino hibrido. Por fim, concluiu-se que, o COVID-19 apesar de malicioso para o meio ambiente, sociedade e empresas, acabou trazendo novas atitudes, não apenas na questão da limpeza, mas também com relação a um sistema flexível de ensino.

The article deals with the issue of performing dependent work according to the conditions of § 317 of the Labour Code which is most often referred to as home office. Because such a designation is not used by law, this article deals with the comparison of the terms that are used for this legal institute and determines the basic criteria for its precise definition. In the following sections, the article deals with the issue of the place of performing dependent work as a basic feature of this institute, and describes and analyzes the limits of its legal adjustment. It focuses on the issue of OHS, accidents at work, remuneration and other situations which are possible limitations in application in practice.

With the shift of the workplace to the private home in the Covid-19-pandemic, the sphere of gainful employment has more or less abruptly invaded the private sphere and has not only led to necessary adaptations in houses and flats, but has also raised new questions about the attractiveness of residential locations. Based on the results of an online survey, this paper examines the influence of home office on housing and settlement structures. Considerations of co-working spaces, another form of mobile work, are also included in the analyses. The aim of the paper is to contribute to the discussion about the attractiveness of residential locations and the consequences of mobile working for housing behaviour. The results show: Contrary to what media discussions suggest, no clear effects on location preferences or a 'new desire for the countryside' can be identified (so far). Furthermore, there is an increased willingness to move, especially in flats that are perceived as too small; dissatisfaction with the flat is higher among respondents with little space. Co-working Spaces do not yet play a role, but respondents with a preference for flexible forms of work are considering them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The goal of this report is to present the experience lived by four students of the physiotherapy course during the Physiotherapy at Work discipline, which develops actions aimed at workers' health. This article addresses historical aspects of work and highlights the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic declared in the early moments of 2020 in the context of work. The emphasis is work in the home office format, the modality which was adopted to contribute with the health measures that were imposed. Considering the real possibilities of this work format to persist, our actions were directed to the negative points caused by home office, among which the difficulty in establishing limits between professional and personal environments, the need to change the infrastructure of the house, lack of socialization and potential family conflicts. Thus, we understand that the physical and emotional health of the worker is affected. To contribute to the protection and promotion of workers' health, we have developed a booklet with specific exercises for those who are working from home. As we finalized the booklet and made it available, we understood the importance of the discipline for the qualification of the physiotherapist professional and how much we can make a difference workers' the health of workers.

Among other factors, the state of danger (a verbatim translation of veszélyhelyzet in official documents) declared because of the pandemic has made life more difficult than before also for the parties involved employment relationships. The constantly changing legislative environment and the increased presence of COVID-19 have put employers and their employees in a difficult situation both from economic and human perspectives. In what follows, I intend to give an overview of the regulations related to working during the state of danger declared because of COVID-19 from the point of view of the employers' rights and authority, highlighting two important aspects: that of the institution of home office and that of the vaccinations.

From the mid-1920s through the 1930s, workers' film societies met across Great Britain, led by the London Workers' Film Society (LWFS), and the authorities balked. This activity occurred alongside immense social and political change: the expansion of the right to vote in 1918 and 1928, the General Strike of 1926 and the growth of a consumer leisure culture, not to mention a global economic depression. While members of the middle-class Film Society largely managed to see what they wanted, government officials sought to treat their working-class counterparts very differently. But they found themselves constrained by the 1909 Cinematograph Act and the precedent set by the Film Society. Consequently, Special Branch and the Home Office attempted to curtail the activities of the LWFS through indirect censorship methods including surveillance, customs warrants and legal definitions of film exhibition. Drawing on recently released Home Office files from the National Archives that detail official responses to the activities of the LWFS, this article reconsiders what these activities meant at a time of competing political ideas and class upheaval. This complements scholarship that has mostly focused on the Labour film movement, as these new sources shed light on the complex navigation that government officials had to make with regard to the ever-evolving cinematic exhibition practices.

The recent pandemic forced companies to switch to working from home. This process was necessary to maintain health and economic efficiency. The move from physical workplaces to virtual workplaces in the digital space started earlier than the pandemic. The pandemic amplified this process. In parallel, we also see that companies have had positive experiences in the process of creating virtual workplaces. The virtual workplace has serious IT-issues, which we try to reflect. Some of the employees have taken to this process. A significant part of the companies has not even returned to the classic former working processes. We have to focus also on the issues of the virtual workplace. Due to its practical popularity, it was necessary to regulate the home office at the legal level, as most experts also had the opposite opinion on its essential elements. In order to close this debate, the legislator has created a new regulation concerning teleworking, which amends the rules of the Hungarian Labor Code on teleworking with effect from the end of the emergency. We try to present this new regulation, which has not yet entered into force, and its many obscure points in the research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Organisations have implemented intensive home-based teleworking in response to global COVID-19 lockdowns and other pandemic-related restrictions. Financial pressures are driving organisations to continue intensive teleworking after the pandemic. Understanding employees' teleworking inclinations post COVID-19, and how these inclinations are influenced by different factors, is important to ensure any future, more permanent changes to teleworking policies are sustainable for both employees and organisations. This study, therefore, investigated the relationships between the context of home-based teleworking during the pandemic (pandemic-teleworking conditions), productivity perceptions during home-based teleworking, and employees' future teleworking inclinations (FTI) beyond the pandemic. Specifically, the study examined whether pandemic-teleworking conditions related to the job, and the physical and social environments at home, influenced employees' FTI, and if perceptions of improved or reduced productivity mediated these relationships. Data were collected during April and May 2020 with a cross-sectional online survey of teleworkers (n = 184) in Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and other countries during the first COVID-19 lockdowns. Reported FTI were mixed. Most participants (61%) reported wanting to telework more post-pandemic compared to before the pandemic; however, 18% wanted to telework less. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed that some teleworking conditions (job demands and work privacy fit) were positively associated with FTI. Other teleworking conditions (specifically, job change, job control, home office adequacy, and childcare) were not associated with FTI. Perceived changes in productivity mediated the relationship between work privacy fit and FTI. Findings highlight the role of work privacy fit and job demands in influencing pandemic productivity perceptions and teleworking inclinations post-pandemic. Results raise questions about the suitability and sustainability of home-based teleworking for all staff. As organisations plan to increase the proportion of teleworking post-pandemic, this study suggests there is a need to support employees who perceived their productivity to be poor while home-working during the pandemic.

Este artigo visa analisar a situação do trabalhador durante a pandemia da covid-19, em regime home office, consoante a sua jornada laboral. O objetivo é explorar as alterações legislativas, sobretudo as medidas provisórias e demonstrar a inexatidão acerca do controle de jornada, sobretudo a sobrejornada, que traz como consequência inúmeros direitos constitucionais violados, como por exemplo, o direito ao descanso. Para tanto, discute-se: Em que medida e se é possível realizar um controle de jornada, no home office, que preserve os direitos do trabalhador e garanta as mínimas condições de segurança pessoais? Buscou-se, como objetivo geral, analisar a possibilidade de se realizar o controle de jornada de acordo com a legislação e os direitos fundamentais do trabalhador. Como objetivos específicos, buscou-se analisar a diferenciação entre o teletrabalho e o home office, os impactos desse sistema na saúde e nos direitos dos trabalhadores e também analisar os parâmetros acerca de um possível controle da jornada de trabalho. Como metodologia, foi utilizada a revisão bibliográfica e análise documental e jurisprudencial. Este artigo justifica-se pelo fato de o trabalhador não é uma máquina à disposição do empregador, logo é um ser completamente dotado de deveres e direitos que devem ser observados e respeitados.

Este artículo hace uso de la etnografía digital para conocer cómo se vivió en México el home office durante la cuarentena declarada en la Jornada Nacional de Sana Distancia instaurada a consecuencia de la pandemia de COVID-19. Describe las realidades de esto de manera general y, a su vez, también hace una comparación entre la experiencia de las mujeres y la de los hombres. Además, de forma indirecta, se aprecian las deficiencias de las condiciones laborales y la cultura del trabajo que se ven exacerbadas durante la pandemia.

This study aims to reflect on the home office in times of pandemic in order to identify the variables determining of the home office in the context of COVID-19. The survey was conducted through a survey, obtaining 273 valid responses. As a data collection instrument, a structured questionnaire was used, based on 16 variables. For data analysis, the following were used: the SPSSTM software, which performs descriptive statistics, and the Exploratory Factor Analysis technique. The constructs found were: isolation, self-management, wage loss and perceived career difficulties. In the analysis of the results, it was evidenced that the data mostly obey the parameters that determine the normality and consistency of the data. In short, based on the findings, one can infer the adequacy of the scale, which can be considered effective for measuring the constructs to which it is associated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study sought to analyze the home office and its impacts caused in the context of work-family conflict. In this path, with the insertion of COVID-19, organizations implemented remote work and employees began to work from home offices, triggering consequences in the work-family scope. This study is characterized as descriptive with a quantitative approach, comprising a sample of 49 respondents. As for the technical procedure, data collection was applied through a survey. For data collection, the work-family conflict scale validated by Bastos et al. (2014) was used. It was possible to perceive the impacts of the home office in the work-family context, as the demands of work interfere in family life (x = 4.35), as well as the demands of the family interfere in work activities (x = 3.16). Respondents stated that the biggest challenges they faced were not having access to the tools or information necessary to carry out the work (n = 15) and maintaining a regular work routine (n = 24). As for job satisfaction, in relation to conditions, 38.77% of respondents said that if the home office continues for longer, it is necessary to take appropriate measures to improve this way of working. The sample studied is a limitation of this study, so it is suggested for future research to carry out studies with a mixed approach, with a multifaceted public and with the inclusion of other profile characteristics.

This article develops an analysis of contemporary immigration raids in Britain, arguing that they operate ideologically as well as institutionally to sustain the material and political conditions of what is a vastly unequal form of social order (that is also a form of racial order). It suggests that immigration raids are located within and develop understandings of a racial state in contemporary Britain. Drawing on ethnographic work at a migrant charity organization, it explains the raid process and its impact on individuals and families. Raids are rationalized as facilitating removal and more broadly operate as part of attempts to generate fear and encourage people to leave "voluntarily." However, this is not achieved in many cases, and this article suggests that the real purpose of raids is to dominate and oppress illegalized migrants and those who may be vulnerable to immigration control, as well as reproducing the justification for immigration enforcement. Raids can be understood as inflicting harms and as a form of state-sanctioned racist violence which is utilized to try severing solidarities between communities. Enforcement leads to resistance and the conclusion reflects on resistance to raids, demonstrated for example by the 2021 Kenmure Street protest in Glasgow, and the solidarities such resistance ferments and sustains.

Digital skills can be a valuable resource in work life, especially in such times as the current COVID-19 pandemic, during which working from home has become new reality. Although increasing numbers of older employees (aged 50 years and above) are using digital technologies to work remotely, many of these older adults still have generally lower digital skills. Whether the pandemic will be a push factor for the acquisition of computer skills in late working life remains unclear. This study investigated the explanatory factors of the computer skills gained by older workers who were working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, using representative data for 28 countries from the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). The analysis of the survey responses of 11,042 employed persons aged 50 years and older revealed that, 13% worked only at home due to the pandemic, while 15% said they worked at home and in their usual workplace. The descriptives indicate that full-time homeworking is more of an option among those with tertiary education and who already have some computer skills. Of the older employees who worked only at home, 36% reported an improvement in their computer skills, whereas of the older workers who worked at home and at their usual workplaces, only 29% reported such an improvement. Our results based on logistic regressions suggest that significantly more women, younger employees, respondents with tertiary educational qualifications, and those whose work was not affected by unemployment or even business closure acquired new computer skills, regardless of whether they were working permanently or only partly from home. The study underlines the importance of investigating the possible digital skills gained from the home office situation resulting from the pandemic.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a percepção de profissionais que atuaram em regime de home office antes e durante o período de pandemia da Covid-19, visando identificar as vantagens, desvantagens e os desafios desta prática, bem como suas perspectivas de continuidade em um contexto de pós-pandemia. A revisão da literatura abordou o conceito e a evolução do teletrabalho e pesquisas relacionadas a experiências e práticas do home office. Foi realizado um survey dirigido às pessoas que já exerceram atividades em home office, por meio de disponibilização de um link com um questionário em Google Forms em redes sociais, com ênfase no site LinkedIn, e mensagens de WhatsApp para grupos dentro do perfil de respondente desejado. O link ficou disponível durante uma semana e recebeu 407 respostas. Após análise, 69 questionários foram descartados por não atenderem aos requisitos da pesquisa. Sendo assim, foram utilizadas 338 respostas para análise dos dados, considerando apenas os indivíduos que trabalharam nessa modalidade pelo menos em algum momento de suas vidas profissionais, sendo esse momento antes, durante, ou antes e durante a pandemia. Os principais resultados indicam que o home office é uma tendência para um futuro próximo, com cenário favorável à sua prática, mas será necessário a estruturação da modalidade por parte das organizações, com foco em fornecimento de recursos, melhoria no suporte e apoio na definição mais clara de limites da fronteira entre o profissional e o pessoal no home office.

Instadas pela conjuntura da pandemia da Covid-19 que assola o mundo, apresenta-se o presente artigo, que é fruto de pesquisa bibliográfica e reflexões realizadas no Núcleo de Estudos e Pesquisa em Identidade Metamorfose (NEPIM) da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP), nos momentos iniciais da doença, quando o surto adquiria importância, no Brasil, no idos de 2020. O trabalho foi construído sob a ótica da Psicologia Social e Psicopedagogia, bem como do Serviço Social e ao congregar diferentes áreas do saber, são preservadas as vertentes teórico-metodológicas que balizam as áreas de conhecimentos mencionadas. O objetivo, neste artigo, é problematizar o home office incorporado, de forma abrupta, à vida do conjunto da classe trabalhadora e fornecer pressupostos para o debate acerca do home office, na crise cíclica capitalista, que se agudiza com a pandemia. Como resultados, emergiu a perda dos direitos dos/as trabalhadores/as, na medida em que a prática invade o mundo privado, e a possibilidade de essas rupturas trazerem em seu bojo alternativas com sentido emancipatório, que antes não existiam.

The emergence of the coronavirus epidemic has had a significant impact on the world’s economic processes and on society as a whole. For the sake of continuous operation, most companies have allowed their employees to do their work from home. In order to get a more accurate picture of the impact of the coronavirus epidemic on labour market participants, the author conducted quantitative research. With the help of social media, a questionnaire published online provided me an excellent opportunity to solicit the opinion of a section of the population on the topic. The results of the responses significantly contributed to the exploration of the impact of the COVID-19 virus on the labour market and the attitudes and experiences of the stakeholders towards the home office. Based on the results of my research, the author has come to the conclusion that in the future, close cooperation between employers and employees could be able to help to eliminate the damage caused by the crisis and help to revitalize employment.

The objective of the study was to analyze the impacts of the covid-19 pandemic on the Quality of Life at Work (QoLW) of the managers of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Paraíba (IFPB), João Pessoa campus, in home office activities. It was an applied, exploratory-descriptive case study, with a non-probabilistic sample (n=39), selected for accessibility and convenience. Data were collected by sending an electronic questionnaire, processed and analyzed using descriptive statistics. There was a predominance of males (53.8%), aged between 30 and 39 years (43.6%), doctors (33%) and with a remunerated position. Managers' perceptions - regarding organizational, environmental and behavioral aspects in QWL in the home office in the pandemic context - were mostly positive, but they require improvement in organizational daily life.

BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between performing remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic and the level of job and life satisfaction, as well as the assumed, intermediary role of the level of perceived stress and such resources as self-efficacy and self-esteem. PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE: The study, implemented with the use of an internet application, included 283 employees. Data were gathered using a job and life satisfaction scale, the Short Scale for Measuring General Self-Efficacy Beliefs, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Perceived Stress Scale PSS-4 and a demographic information form. RESULTS: The results showed the existence of a relationship between performing remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic and job and life satisfaction, and that the level of perceived stress, self-efficiency and self-esteem plays an intermediary role in this relationship. Remote working is associated with life and job satisfaction, and this relationship is mediated by levels of experienced stress, self-efficacy and selfesteem. CONCLUSIONS: Findings indicate that remote working is associated with higher levels of job and work satisfaction. This relationship is mediated by levels of perceived stress, self-efficacy and self-esteem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose is to investigate the current status and future evolution of the workplace within the COVID-19 pandemic context. Documents, publications and surveys from numerous sources have been analyzed to find out more about the employees' and organizations' experience with remote working and the advantages and disadvantages of accessing the workplace during the pandemic. The analysis of the data made possible the identification of patterns within the available literature regarding what has happened and, especially, its influence on the workplace. The revolution initiated by COVID-19 has changed the way companies and employees work and will continue doing so, requiring a constant reinvention of how they operate and causing actions never seen before, generating deep changes in the workplace. Therefore, the idea of the workplace will never be what was expected before COVID-19, where reinvention of work, technology and safety are key points in its transformation process.
