Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, new ways of organizing work have emerged. The lockdowns and restrictions have pushed organizations towards remote work and new ways of working. Although to different degrees, these changes have affected all types of organizations, both for-profit and not-for-profit, as well as governmental and private ones. It is therefore time to start a reflection on the lessons to be learned from COVID-19, in order to cope with old and new Work-Related Stressors and Job Demands.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on the current state of knowledge on this topic. Most of the changes brought by COVID-19 are bound to stay after the end of the pandemic. It is thus important to address the changes not only within organizations but also among workers, in terms of their attitudes towards work and the perceived quality and productivity of their working experiences.
Papers addressing Work-Related Stressors and Job Demands after the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to Work-Related Protective Factors and Job Resources aimed at contrasting the potentially detrimental effects of new ways of work are welcome. We welcome papers combining a high academic standard and innovative insights aimed at providing practical solutions. The issue will include interdisciplinary studies as well as literature review papers, position papers and empirical studies.
