HR employees experience of the psychosocial work environment at telework during the pandemic (English)
Abstract [sv]
Syftet med föreliggande kvalitativa studie var att undersöka HR-medarbetares upplevelse av den psykosociala arbetsmiljön vid distansarbete under coronapandemin. Datainsamlingen utgick från semistrukturerade intervjuer. Sex stycken HR medarbetare inom offentlig förvaltning medverkade i studien. Analysen av materialet gjordes genom en tematisk analys av data där resultatet redovisas i form av teman. Två huvudteman framkom: Påverkan på sociala funktioner och balans under arbetsdagen. Följande subteman redovisas: chefers stöd/tillgänglighet, kommunikation med kollegor, digitala kanaler, effektivitet, återhämtning och tidsparande/mindre stress. Slutsatsen av studien visar på att fördelar med distansarbetet var upplevelsen av att arbeta effektivare och ha mer inflytande över att styra sin tid än tidigare, vilket ökade egenkontrollen.Det har också lett till fler timmars sömn då restiden minskade. Nackdelarna var bristande återhämtning då de naturligt inlagda rasterna föll bort samt avsaknaden av den sociala samhörigheten med kollegor. Människor är olika, vissa upplever distansarbete som en frihet och andra mer som en begränsning och isolering.
Abstract [en]
The purpose of the present qualitative study was to investigate HR-employees experience of the psychosocial work environment during the pandemic. Data collection was based on semi-structured interviews. Six HR employees in public administration participated in the study. The analysis of the material was done through a thematic analysis of data where the results were reported in the form of themes. Two main themes emerged: Impact on social functions and balance during the working day. The following sub-themes were found managers support/availability, communication with colleagues, digital channels, efficiency, recovery and timesaving/less stress. The conclusion of the study shows that the benefits of teleworking were the experience of working more efficiently and having more influence over managing one's time than before, which increased self-control. It has also led to more hours of sleep as travel time decreased. The disadvantages were lack of recovery as the naturally laid-off breaks fell away as well as the lack of social cohesion with colleagues. People are different, some experience telework as a freedom and others more as a restriction and isolation.
