Abstract

The Covid-19 Pandemic makes working-from-home mandatory creates some difficulties for employees. This study was prepared to investigate the possible effects of changeover to the working-from-home system due to the Pandemic on employees' work-life conflicts and to offer solutions. The research was carried out at an international independent research company's head office which involved full-time office workers. With the structured interview, 10 people who have different life structures about home life, the number of people staying at home and their roles at home were interviewed. By examining the interview transcripts, 4 common themes were found as the effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic, the effects of working-from-home, the work-life conflict, and the effects of the pandemic process. It has been observed that the working-from-home system creates work-life conflict and the different home life structure affects the situation. Individual and managerial strategies are necessary for the resolution of work-life conflicts.

Özet

Covid-19 pandemisi, evden çalışma sistemini zorunlu kılarken bu durum çalışanlar için bazı zorluklar yaratmaktadır. Bu çalışma, pandemi nedeniyle evden çalışma sistemine geçişin çalışanların iş-yaşam çatışmalarına olası etkilerini araştırmak ve çözümler sunmak amacıyla hazırlanmıştır. Araştırma, tam zamanlı ofis çalışanlarının yer aldığı uluslararası bağımsız bir araştırma şirketinin merkezinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılandırılmış görüşme ile farklı yaşam yapılarına sahip 10 kişi ile evde kalan kişi sayısı ve katılımcıların evdeki rollerinin farklılığı dikkate alınarak görüşülmüştür. Görüşme transkriptleri incelendiğinde, Covid-19 pandemisinin iş ve ev yaşamına etkileri, evden çalışma sisteminin etkileri, iş-yaşam çatışması ve pandemi sürecinin duygusal ve psikolojik etkileri olarak 4 ortak tema bulunmuştur. Evden çalışma sisteminin iş-yaşam çatışması yarattığı ve farklı ev yaşamı yapısının durumu etkilediği görülmüştür. İş hayatı çatışmalarının çözümü için bireysel ve yönetsel stratejiler gereklidir.
