Abstract

This study explores the home-based working experience of software professionals during Covid-19 pandemic. Through an online survey, it examines the challenges of home based working in relation to characteristics of such work settings. Furthermore, it investigates the relation between home-based working characteristics and self-reported productivity via bivariate analysis. The results of this study show that it was mostly easy to adopt to the home-based new work setting while most of the software practitioners stated that they worked longer hours during the pandemic period. Housework and kids were reported as the two primary interruptions in home based setting. Additionally, afternoons and mornings were mentioned as the most productive work intervals for software professionals.

Özet

Bu çalışma, Covid-19 salgını sırasında yazılım profesyonellerinin evden çalışma deneyimlerini araştırmaktadır. Bir anket aracılığıyla, bu tür çalışma ortamlarının özellikleriyle ilişkili olarak evden çalışmanın zorlukları incelenmiştir. Ayrıca, iki değişkenli analiz yoluyla, ev tabanlı çalışma özellikleri ile üretkenlik arasındaki ilişki araştırılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, yazılım profesyonellerinin pandemi döneminde daha uzun saatler çalıştıklarını ve evden çalışma ortamına adapte olmanın çoğunlukla kolay olduğunu göstermektedir. Evden çalışma ortamlarında ev işleri ve çocukların en önemli kesinti nedeni olduğu bildirilmiştir. Ayrıca yazılım profesyonelleri için öğleden sonraları ve sabahların en verimli çalışma aralıkları olduğu belirtilmiştir.
