“…Another limitation of this article would be the lack of systematic review, which future studies can employ (including PRISMA methods) to further explore the topic. Fortunately, several studies have recently used systematic reviews such as bibliometric analysis of management and social science research in general [179][180][181][182][183][184][185] and COVID-19 research in particular [186][187][188]. However, as what we know about the effects of COVID-19 is still limited, and there are growing studies on the effects of COVID-19 on employees, organizations, and countries, future studies may use a systematic review approach such as the PRISMA method to choose a literature search based on a research question in a particular time period.…”

COVID-19 and the New Normal of Organizations and Employees: An Overview

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit organizations and employees in every sector worldwide in unprecedented ways. It became extremely difficult for organizations and employees across sectors to operate under increased mobility restrictions. The pandemic effectively disrupted previous operational models and imbued changes such as telework and digital adoption that are pervasive and may potentially last beyond the pandemic. Amid these circumstances, it was essential to ask how organizations and employees will sustain themselves in the post-COVID-19 ”new normal”. Although so much research is conducted about COVID-19, there is no comprehensive view of the changes at the meso (organizational) and micro (individual) levels. This article aims to explain this using the emergency-learning-institutionalization-new normal (ELIN) framework, which is based on the timeline of the pandemic. The article aims to bring forth the overall trends in how organizations and employees are adapting to the pandemic, the lessons they have learned, and how they will change and adapt in a post-COVID-19 “new normal”. We have analyzed existing policy papers, articles published in business, public administration, nonprofit journals, and other studies to achieve this. We find an increasing trend towards the adoption of telework and digital tools at both meso- and micro-levels. The effective implementation of telework policies and digital transformation plans at the meso-level will ensure the sustainability of organizations and jobs in the new normal. Although these trends vary across sectors and within and across countries, there is an overall increase in the flexibility of organizations and employees in adopting new solutions, making them more open to innovation. The article makes important recommendations for organizations to make these transitions more sustainable in the medium and long term.

“…People with high self-esteem are more satisfied with themselves than people with low self-esteem. A study of the disadvantaged group of immigrants found that self-esteem and education level increases satisfaction with life [37]. While this level of respect develops through interpersonal relationships, it is also influenced by others [38,39].…”

“…There is generally a positive relationship between self-esteem, education level, and satisfaction with life in literature [4,12,31,36,40,41]. Education provides equal opportunity and quality of life for individuals and supports individuals in looking to the future with hope for themselves and their families [37]. Educated individuals increase their engagement, productivity, relationships with other people, and goals.…”

Mediating Role of Satisfaction with Life in the Effect of Self-Esteem and Education on Social Media Addiction in Turkey

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The increasing use of social media due to various individual and social reasons may trigger some psycho-social issues. What can be effective in reducing social media addiction, which causes social and economic problems, is an important issue today. This study aimed to investigate the mediation effect of satisfaction with life in the impact of self-esteem and education level on social media addiction in individuals. The study was designed as cross-sectional, and the sample consists of 952 volunteers over the age of 15 using social media in Turkey. A personal information form, the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale were used as data collection tools in the study. The data were analyzed with SPSS 23.0 Program and PROCESS macro plug-in. Demographic questions such as age, gender, and marriage were used as control variables. As a result of the research, it was determined that satisfaction with life had a mediation role in the effect of self-esteem and education level on social media addiction. Self-esteem and education level improved satisfaction with life, and increased satisfaction with life resulted in less social media addiction. These results demonstrate the importance of implementing specific practices based on self-esteem and education, especially for vulnerable groups, to minimize the problems that may arise with the excessive use of digital apps and social media.

“…Lavy ( 2020 ) analyzed the mechanisms and practices necessary to foster strength of character in twenty-first-century schools and developed an integrative model of an optimal school system. Paloma et al ( 2020 ) studied migrants from developing countries settling in countries with very high human development levels to identify main determinants of LS. Qi et al ( 2020 ) studied the development of publications discussing positive youth development (PYD) between 1995 and 2020 focusing predominantly on bibliometric information.…”

“…Such review papers have also been elaborated on QoL subtopics: for an SLR on QoL research in medicine and health sciences, see Haraldstad et al ( 2019 ), on multimorbidity, see Makovski et al ( 2019 ). Several more review papers analyzing subtopics within the broad thematic field of QoL (Bak-Klimek et al, 2015 ; Bhatt et al, 2012 ; Charlemagne-Badal et al, 2015 ; Galloway, 2006 ; Lavy, 2020 ; McIntyre et al, 2014 ; Merianos et al, 2015 , 2016 ; Mogos et al, 2013 ; Paloma et al, 2020 ; Qi et al, 2020 ; Roepke et al, 2014 ; Sirgy & Lee, 2018 ) have been published in ARQOL, the official journal of the ISQOLS (International Society for Quality-of-Life Studies 2020 ), but no reviews are available at its meta-level. Since at least the publication of the European Commission on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress (Stiglitz et al, 2009 ) confronting traditional approaches of economists with human wellbeing, efficient communication of a structured list of the most prominent drivers of QoL discussed in academic literature to a broader audience is a must.…”

As quality of life (QoL) is a highly interdisciplinary topic with a multitude of related research areas, it is beneficial to avail researchers of an overview of the different streams explored in the field. Furthermore, knowledge of prominent sub-domains helps researchers identify links and overlaps between QoL and their fields of interest. To meet these needs, a text-mining-based computational literature review (CLR) of the journal of Applied Research in Quality of Life (ARQOL) was conducted using a machine learning process, latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), in combination with selection criteria for the decision on the number of topics. The outcome provides the reader with a list of the twelve most heavily discussed topics: 1) consumption & materialism, 2) character strength, 3) spirituality, religiousness & personal beliefs, 4) inequality, 5) leisure & tourism, 6) health related QoL (HRQoL) I, 7) quality of working life (QWL), 8) childhood & adolescence, 9) disparity & development, 10) disorder, 11) community issues, and 12) health related QoL (HRQoL) II. In addition, authors, titles, and publication dates are listed for the top-5-ranked papers that most typify these topics. Subsequent content summaries of these papers reveal more detailed information, such as measurement constructs and theories.
