Abstract

COVID-19, bir sağlık krizi olarak tüm dünyada işgücü piyasalarını ve çalışma kültürünü önemli şekilde dönüştürmüştür. Pandemi önlemleri kapsamında yaygınlaşan evden çalışma, çalışanların yeni bir çalışma düzenine uyum sağlamalarını gerektirmiş, bunun iş ve iş dışındaki alan çatışması üzerine etkileri de hızla görünür hale gelmiştir. Bu çalışma, Avrupa Sosyal Anketi, 10. Etap kapsamında yapılan ve dokuz Avrupa ülkesini kapsayan anket çalışmasını kullanarak, iş yaşam çatışmasına etki eden faktörleri, cinsiyet farkları ve COVID-19’un çalışma biçimlerinde yarattığı farklılıkları dikkate alarak logit model yardımı ile analiz etmektedir. Çalışmanın temel bulgusu, iş yaşam çatışmasını etkileyen faktörlerin kadınlar, erkekler ve ülkelere göre farklılaştığıdır. Kadınlarda iş yaşam çatışmasını etkileyen faktörler, yaş, din, eğitim seviyesi, gelir, aşırı çalışma, evden çalışma sıklığı, iş arkadaşlarıyla dijital iletişim, hükümetin COVID-19 sürecinde çocuklu ailelere yönelik politikalarından duyulan memnuniyet ve çocuk sahibi olup olmamaktır. Erkeklerde ise, yaş, dindarlık, eğitim seviyesi, şehir ölçeği, istihdam durumu ve iş arkadaşlarıyla dijital iletişim iş yaşam çatışmasını etkileyen faktörlerdir.

Working from Home and Work-Life Conflict amidst COVID-19: Preliminary Gender-Based Findings from the European Social Survey

Abstract

As a health crisis, COVID-19 has significantly transformed labor markets and working culture around the world. Working from home, which has become widespread within the scope of pandemic measures, required employees to adapt to a new working order, and its effects on the conflict between work and non-work areas quickly became visible. This study analyzes the factors affecting work-life conflict with the help of logit model, taking into account the gender differences and the differences created by COVID-19 in working styles, using European Values Survey, Round 10 and covering nine European countries. The main finding of the study is that the factors affecting work-life conflict differ according to women, men, and countries. Factors affecting work-life conflict in women are age, religion, education level, income, overworking, frequency of working from home, digital communication with colleagues, satisfaction with the government's policies towards families with children during the COVID process, and whether or not they have children. For men, age, religiosity, education level, city scale, employment status and digital communication with colleagues are factors that affect work-life conflict.
