How new ways of working during COVID-19 affect employee well-being via technostress, need for recovery, and work engagement
No full textCOVID-19 led to a surge in employees experiencing New Ways of Working (NWW), as many had to work from home supported by ICT. This paper studies how experiencing NWW during COVID-19 affected job-related affective well-being (JAWS) for a sample of employees of the Dutch working population. Hypotheses are tested using Preacher and Hayes' (Behav Res Methods 40 (3):879–891, 2008) bootstrap method, including technostress, need for recovery and work engagement as serial mediators. The results show that higher levels of NWW relate to higher JAWS, to more feelings of positive well-being (PAWS), and less feelings of negative well-being (NAWS). Much of these relations is indirect, via reduced technostress and need for recovery, and increased work engagement. Distinguishing the separate facets of NWW and their relations to PAWS/NAWS, the results show that NWW facets management of output, access to colleagues and access to information directly relate to less negative well-being. However, as the NWW facet time- and location-independent work negatively relates to feelings of positive well-being, NWW as a bundle of facets is not a set-and-forget strategy. Therefore, this study recommends that NWW be supplemented with regular monitoring of employees’ well-being, technostress, need for recovery and work engagement
Telewerken tijdens en sinds de COVID-19-pandemie: Recht zo die gaat?
Full text linkTelewerken, thuiswerken, hybride werken – verschillende labels die vaak worden gebruikt om het op afstand werken van de werk- of opdrachtgever met behulp van informatie- en communicatietechnologie (ICT) aan te duidenen die in dit redactioneel afwisselend worden gebruikt. Sinds de COVID19-pandemie lijkt deze dimensie van het nieuwe werken (HNW) (Gerards et al., 2018; Peters et al., 2014) gemeengoed te zijn geworden, zelfs in functies waar dit voorheen, al dan niet met steekhoudende argumenten, niet kon. Nu miljoenen werkenden eraan geproefd hebben, is de geest uit de fles, in ieder geval wat werknemers betreft. Zij hebben de nieuwverworven toegang tot deze werkvorm massaal omarmd. Zo werkt na de pandemie volgens het CBS meer dan de helft van de Nederlandse beroepsbevolking in meer of minderemate wekelijks vanuit huis (Dirven, dit special issue) en maken vakbonden en werkgevers hierover afspraken die hybride werken in heldere kaders gieten (Van der Velden, dit special issue). Een deel van de werkgevers en seniormanagers probeert deze geest echter krampachtig terug in de fles te krijgen (Smulders, dit special issue). Hebben zij een punt? Treden er spanningsvelden op bij de massale implementatie van substantieel thuiswerken en, zo ja,welke? Hierop komen wij verder in dit redactioneel nog terug
