该研究旨在了解COVID-19大流行早期阶段非自愿远程工作对有和没有远程工作经验的工人的感知压力和工作相关倦怠的影响。作者开发了一份调查问卷，开放时间为2020年3月23日至5月19日，包括感知压力量表，哥本哈根倦怠量表，人口统计学和工作相关问题。该样本由256名自认为在大流行期间在家工作的专业人员组成。大流行限制增加了所有参与者的感知压力，但年龄和性别对压力和倦怠有显着影响。对于在COVID-19之前已经远程工作的受访者来说，职业倦怠最为严重。报告中最重要的挑战是通过技术与同事进行沟通，协作和时间管理。在家工作可能会导致更高水平的感知压力和与工作相关的倦怠，这对一些雇主将在家工作作为一种永久安排提出了质疑。
The purpose of the study was to understand the impact of involuntary remote working during the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic on perceived stress and work-related burnout for workers with and without previous experience of remote work. The authors developed a questionnaire, open from March 23rd to May 19th, 2020, incorporating the Perceived Stress Scale, Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, demographic, and work-related questions. This sample consisted of 256 professionals who self-identified as working at home during the pandemic. Pandemic restrictions increased perceived stress for all participants, but age and gender had significant effects on stress and burnout. Burnout was most significant for respondents already working remotely before COVID-19. The most significant challenges reported were-communication, collaboration, and time management with colleagues via technology. Working from home may contribute to higher levels of perceived stress and work-related burnout, which questions moves by some employers to make working from home a permanent arrangement.
