COVID-19-induced changes in the workplace, psychosocial work environment and employee well-being: a longitudinal study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In many workplaces, the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic changed work arrangements, but there is scarce longitudinal evidence on whether psychosocial work environment and employee well-being were affected.

Aims

To examine the psychosocial work environment and employee well-being before, during and after the pandemic in relation to pandemic-induced changes (working from home, change to other tasks and team reorganization).

Methods

Survey data from a cohort of 20 944 public sector employees in Finland were collected before (2016-2018), during (2020) and after the pandemic (2022). Multilevel linear and logistic regression was used to examine group differences between the before-during and during-after periods of the pandemic.

Results

Working from home
