Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has led to a series of flexibility-based changes in labor markets. Indeed, at a time of rapid digitalization of working life, when the replacement of traditional on-site work with fully remote or hybrid working models is being discussed, the pandemic has facilitated and accelerated this transition for some business sectors. However, like any rapid transformation, this transition has also brought some problems. Foremost among these is the need to reconstruct the work-life balance. While the work-life balance has not been fully achieved even in the traditional working order, it has become even more difficult to achieve this balance in the hybrid or fully remote working order, where the physical and temporal boundaries of work life and non-work life are even more blurred. Moreover, while it is certain that the pandemic will definitely end one day, it is unlikely that the "new normal" working pattern, which became widespread rapidly during the pandemic, will return to the pre-pandemic period. This paper argues that hybrid and remote working will become more popular for digital-based jobs in the post-pandemic era, but it will not be a "one-size-fits-all" solution.

Özet

Covid-19 pandemisi işgücü piyasalarında esneklik temelli bir dizi değişikliğe yol açmıştır. Nitekim çalışma hayatının hızlı bir şekilde dijitalleştiği, geleneksel yerinde çalışmanın yerine tamamen uzaktan veya hibrit çalışma modellerinin getirilmesinin tartışıldığı bir dönemde, pandemi bu geçişi kimi işkolları için kolaylaştırmış ve hızlandırmıştır. Ancak her hızlı dönüşüm gibi bu geçiş de bazı sorunları beraberinde getirmiştir. Bunların başında da iş-yaşam dengesinin yeniden kurgulanması ihtiyacı gelmektedir. İş-yaşam dengesi geleneksel çalışma düzeninde bile tam olarak sağlanamamışken, iş yaşamıyla iş dışı yaşamın fiziki ve zamansal sınırlarının daha da bulanıklaştığı hibrit veya tamamen uzaktan çalışma düzeninde bu dengeyi sağlamak daha da güç bir hal almıştır. Üstelik pandeminin bir gün mutlaka tamamen sona ereceği kesinken, pandemi döneminde hızla yaygınlaşan “yeni normal” çalışma düzeninin pandemi öncesi döneme geri dönmesi düşük bir olasılıktır. Bu makale, hibrit ve uzaktan çalışmanın pandemi sonrası dönemde dijital tabanlı işler için daha popüler olacağını, ancak bunun “herkese uyan tek bir çözüm” olmayacağını savunmaktadır.
