Summary: This study focuses on the long-term effect of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, specifically the increase in telecommuting. The findings suggest that a significant number of workers plan to continue telecommuting regularly post-pandemic if given the option. Factors such as educational attainment, income, and job categories influence the availability of telecommuting. However, a considerable portion of workers expect their telecommuting patterns to remain unchanged, limiting its impact on reducing peak hour transport demand.

Summary: Covid-19 has significant implications for public transport operations, leading to a decrease in demand and reduced capacity. The study finds that teleworking and increased infection risk have different effects on fare and frequency, and teleworking can reduce the deficit of public transport if car use is underestimated. By considering the risk perception of different vulnerable groups, differentiated fare and frequency can be applied, but this may result in higher fares and lower occupancy rates for vulnerable users.

Furthermore, employees received more help and feedback from colleagues and experienced a better sense of community over time.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the working conditions of young employees, causing changes, decreased well-being when working from home, and uncertainty. However, it has also resulted in decreased demands, increased work-life balance, and well-functioning work processes. For managers, it is important to be mindful of blurred boundaries between work and personal life, maintain effective communication, and provide opportunities for recovery.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of gender and age on work engagement and psychological distress. The sample includes 542 participants working in Ecuador during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results show that participants generally experience psychological distress, with women and younger participants experiencing higher levels. In terms of work engagement, the sample shows average levels of total engagement, average levels of vigor, and high levels of dedication and absorption. Men have higher levels of total work engagement and vigor. Psychological distress is significantly and negatively correlated with total work engagement scores and its three factors. There are no differences in work engagement according to the different modalities, but teleworkers report significantly higher levels of psychological distress than hybrid workers. The findings provide insights for decision-makers to explore the benefits of flexible working practices.

Summary: The study found that the increase in working from home (WFH) among vocational counseling psychologists during the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with higher productivity and job satisfaction, as well as lower distractibility compared to working on-site. However, more frequent WFH did not significantly improve work-life balance during the pandemic. Vocational counselors who shared an office with many colleagues experienced higher feelings of loneliness during WFH.

Summary: Although remote work was uncommon in South Korea before the pandemic, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in remote work participation, with the ratio of remote workers rising from 0.5% in 2019 to 5.4% in 2021. This study examined the determinants of remote work during the pandemic based on the Economically Active Population Survey from 2019 to 2021, using logistic regression. The findings show that younger, female, highly-educated, and high-earning workers are more likely to work remotely. Additionally, larger firms tend to offer more remote work opportunities, and the ICT, finance, and education sectors show a higher likelihood of remote work. Remote work has been recognized as a key factor in reducing long working hours and improving work-life balance in Korea, but addressing inequalities in remote work is also important.

Summary: This article examines the implementation of succession processes as a talent mapping, development, and retention strategy in organizations. The study found that only a small number of organizations have a structured process for retaining potential successors, and those with more mature succession processes are more likely to retain their talents in a structured manner. The main factors leading to voluntary dismissals among professionals in surveyed organizations are related to compensation, career, and development actions.
