Abstract

SANTANA, Alanny Nunes de  and  ROAZZI, Antonio. Home Office and COVID-19: meta-analytical research about effects of working from home. Rev. Psicol., Organ. Trab. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.4, pp. 1731-1738. ISSN 1984-6657.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5935/rpot/2021.4.23198.

With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, unprecedented challenges emerged for the global workforce, which needed to quickly adapt to new conditions and ways of working, specifically home office/remote work. In this context, the present meta-analysis study aimed to explore the effects of positive and negative aspects of working from home on symptoms associated with burnout before and during the pandemic. The SCOPUS and ScienceDirect databases and reference lists of the studies were consulted. Six articles were included, covering 4,082 participants with a mean age of 38 years, 67% male. The results suggest that remote work had a different impact on workers who needed to adapt to this new working condition during the pandemic period, evidencing that the protective and risk aspects are more relevant in developing burnout symptoms. Further research is still needed to recognize specific home office implications in the pandemic.

Keywords : COVID-19; burnout; smart working.
