- Description
- The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on private enterprises has been particularly noticeable in the IT and non-ITES sectors. Work came to a complete halt due to the ensuing lockdown, severely affecting businesses and further harming industries like aviation and hospitality. Widespread job losses, shortened workweeks, minimum wage reductions, short-term leave policies, and even company closures have been the results. To understand the extent of these impacts, a descriptive study was conducted online in AprilMay 2021, involving 2439 white-collar workers from various private companies. Convenient sampling methods were used to gather data on the experiences of employees in these sectors during the pandemic. The survey's findings demonstrate a positive but weak association between Work-Life Balance and Health Stress (r?=?0.24, p?<?0.01) and a positive low correlation between Work-Life Balance and Job Satisfaction (r?=?0.23, p?<?0.01). Therefore, work-life balance and job satisfaction among employees were significantly correlated throughout the epidemic. Additionally, there was a negative moderate correlation between Health Stress and Job Satisfaction (r?= ?0.48, p?<?0.01), indicating that as Health Stress decreases, Job Satisfaction increases at moderate levels. The implications of the study were discussed further. The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
