Sažetak: Jedna od posljedica pandemije korona virusa velik je šok i za europsko i za svjetsko gospodarstvo. Utjecaj na razne sektore i poduzeća ovisi o nizu čimbenika, među ostalim o mogućnosti prilagodbe radnih mjesta, odnosno načina obavljanja radnih zadataka u kontekstu epidemioloških mjera. Organizacije se suočavaju s potrebom novoga strateškog pristupa u organizaciji poslova, zaštiti zdravlja na radnome mjestu, komuniciranju u novim okolnostima, vođenju, motiviranju, te upravljanju prihodima i troškovima. U New Yorku se, primjerice, samo 14% od više od milijun službenika do sredine siječnja vratilo u svoje urede, čime su ugroženi mnogi mali poduzetnici (trgovine, restorani), ali i život na Manhattanu. Za vrijeme proljetnog zatvaranja 62% zaposlenih Amerikanaca radilo je od kuće, što je više nego dvostruko više u odnosu na nekoliko godina ranije. Mnogi su od njih izrazili zadovoljstvo brzom prilagodbom i učinkovitošću, međutim novija istraživanja pokazuju kako rad od kuće ima i negativnih učinaka, poput onih vezanih uz izravnu komunikaciju, dijeljenje znanja, kreativno rješavanje izazova, ali i odvajanje privatnog i poslovnog života. U ovome se radu analiziraju elementi kvalitete radnoga mjesta, načini prilagodbe i organizacije rada različitih djelatnosti u pandemijskim uvjetima, te prednosti i nedostaci rada od kuće / na daljinu u potrazi za odgovorom na pitanje je li budućnost u hibridnim radnim mjestima. Abstract: One of the consequences of the corona virus pandemic is a major shock to the economies worldwide. The impact on various sectors and companies depends on several factors, including the possibility of adapting jobs, i.e., the way of performing work tasks in the context of epidemiological measures. Organizations face the need for a new strategic approach in work organization, in workplace health protection, with communication under new circumstances, as well as in leadership, motivation, and revenue and cost management. In New York, for example, only 14% of more than a million employees returned to their offices by mid-January, threatening many small businesses (shops, restaurants) but also the living in Manhattan. During the spring lockdown, 62% of employed Americans worked from home which is more than twice as many as a few years earlier. Many of them expressed satisfaction with the quick adjustment and efficiency, but recent research shows that working from home also has negative effects, such as those related to direct communication, knowledge sharing, creative problem solving, but also the separation of private and business life. This paper analyses the elements of workplace quality, ways of adapting and organizing the work of different activities in pandemic conditions, and advantages and disadvantages of teleworking in search of an answer to the question of whether the future is in hybrid workplaces.
