The Impact

Purpose As researchers are being called to examine the evolving technology research issues for COVID-19 and other pandemics, remote work has been accelerated and represents the future of work. Although it is known that one of the top forces shaping the future of work is changing employee expectations, the knowledge of remote work during a pandemic remains scant. Thus, this paper aims to determine the impact of remote worker’s expectations on their level of satisfaction and intention to continue to work remotely. Design/methodology/approach Using one of the prominent theories on expectations, Expectation Disconfirmation Theory (EDT), the authors conduct an online survey of 146 individuals who are currently working remotely. Findings By applying EDT, the findings demonstrate that an individual’s expectations regarding remote work impact their level of satisfaction with remote work and intention to continue to work remotely. Incorporating extant research, the findings extend the research stream to indicate that employees’ expectations about remote work significantly impact both their level of satisfaction and level of productivity. Originality/value The discussion elucidates the significance of understanding employee expectations regarding remote work in the evolving new normal. The findings from the study demonstrate the importance of an individual’s expectations regarding remote work on their level of satisfaction with remote work and intention to continue to work remotely. Thus, this study fills a gap in the literature by applying EDT to the remote work context.

What HRM structures and schedules are most likely to characterize the post-pandemic period? This paper, taking a multidisciplinary approach to the analysis of the future of work and hybridized workforces, straddles the fields of HRM, business economics, and organizational behavior. It seeks to provide insights into the evolving post-pandemic’s new normal. The gains from the vaccination efforts in the US, in particular, are leading to shifts from the pandemic’s dismissal as a short-term phenomenon, to one that is now manageable. This paper, hence, analyzes the emerging trends and patterns that will most likely influence and shape the use of the human resource in companies, especially within the United States of America. It highlights the various discovered types, intensities, modalities, related to a range of worker types and work conditions associated with hybridized HRM, and the expected patterns and changes in employer-employee relationships likely to be maintained or expanded, that, informed by the Gratton framework of time and place. The paper maintains that not all work types are suitable for remote work. Additionally, certain gender biases are retained in the pandemic induced HRM hybrid models, while some are even reinforced. New work-life balance issues have also entered into work structuring and scheduling arrangements, with implications for the education attainment of the young, especially if, for example, hybrid education delivery becomes more widespread. The paper concludes with suggested research recommendations prompted by the pandemic’s activated sectoral labor supply challenges.

Additional Value

Over the past ten years, there has been a lot of talk about the importance of digital skills in the world of the future, about the ability to learn throughout life as the main quality of an employee, about how employers are increasingly beginning to appreciate the “soft” skills of employees. But few could have imagined that the future would literally come right now. Due to the introduction of quarantine in many countries around the world and the economic crisis, organizations are forced to transform in the shortest possible time, including reorganizing to remote work and mastering new digital tools for this. Even the usually conservative spheres of healthcare and education are urgently adopting telemedicine and distance learning. The success of the ongoing transformations is only partially dependent on technical readiness and digital skills. It is much more related to the extent to which managers and employees are ready to develop and make non-standard decisions, maintain communication, adapt work processes, and set priorities. The main idea is that the breakthrough development of digital technologies will not lead to digitalization of the entire economy. On the contrary, special human qualities will acquire additional value, since they cannot be automated. Another premise in favor of the gradual increase in the importance of a certain spectrum of human skills is the special conditions of the modern economy. It is very demanding on both business and society and an individual, even if we exclude the factors of crisis or force majeure. High expectations of individual performance and company results have become the new norm, and the rapid pace of change makes it impossible to predict what knowledge, skills and tools will be useful even in the foreseeable future.

Purpose/Thesis: The article considers the management strategies employed at Polish academic libraries during a crisis situation, using the lockdown imposed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as a case study. (The lockdown is defined here as the period between March 12th and June 2020). The study identifies the most significant obstacles to operating efficiently in the unstable VUCA environment. Approach/Methods: The author uses research methods of sociology, collecting data from the directors of Polish academic libraries by the means of an online survey, with the response rate approximating 30%. The survey included questions about the organization of information and library services during the lockdown, and about the management obstacles the libraries faced.Results and conclusions: The results suggest that both directors and staff of academic libraries did their best in the crisis situation. They adjusted the information and library service procedures, seeking to efficiently organize remote work, and manage the dispersed work environment. The most often mentioned management obstacles included the necessity for rapid adjustment, the impossibility of long-term planning, and the changing duties. However, the libraries implemented a number of solutions, which may serve them in the future if need be, such as rotational shifts, higher flexibility of organization, and task-oriented approach to professional duties. Practical implications: The study presents procedures to be applied in the case of another lockdown, identifies good practices, and relays the experiences of other academic libraries in order to improve information services at the reader's place of employment; it may inspire them to optimize information and library processes. Originality/Value: It is the first such study of the activity of Polish academic libraries during the lockdown. The results may contribute to discussions about the organizational flexibility of academic libraries and their capacity for adjustment, and well as about the future development or phaseout of certain areas of their activity.

Conditions Of Employment

The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed the employment situation, both globally and within individual states. Several tens of millions of people in the world were left without work. The unemployment rate, both statistically confirmed and hidden, has risen significantly. Only the most developed and richest countries were able to restrain the rapid growth in the number of unemployed through budget transfers. At the same time, the era of social distancing contributed to the revision of work standards in many industries, changed the conditions of employment and the requirements of employers to employees. The forced transition of thousands of institutions to remote work was a catalyst for the digital economy and led to the emergence and rapid growth of new clusters of professions of the future. The world after the pandemic will no longer be the same, and in the field of employment in the first place.
