“…The study reveals that task-and relation-oriented leadership behavior, e-training, and employment security are crucial resources for teaching staff's stress management process and performance. Previously conducted studies addressed work transformations, stress, job insecurity, mental health, and performance of educators during the pandemic crisis (Korsakien ė et al 2015;Duraku and Hoxha 2020;Chapman et al 2020;Onyema et al 2020;Hamid et al 2020;Davidescu et al 2020;Sahni 2020). Some studies addressed the role of leaders and training to improve employee performance and work-life balance (Bartsch et al 2020;Wolor et al 2020).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected all spheres of services-related business, including the higher education sector. As a pre-emptive measure, almost all traditional educational institutions have been transformed into virtual organizations. This pandemic-induced work transition has created stress among academic staff and has hampered their performance. The present study aims to examine the impact of leadership behaviors, e-training, and employment security on the stress management process, consequently improving employee performance during and after the pandemic. Based on the IPO (input–process–output) model, this study examines the effect of leadership behavior, e-training, and employment security on teaching staff’s tasks and adaptive and contextual performance, mediated by stress management. To test the conceptual model, data were collected from the teaching staff of Malaysian universities. The structural equation modeling technique was used for data analysis, while bootstrapping with the maximum likelihood estimator was used to confirm the mediational role of stress management. The study revealed that task- and relation-oriented leadership behavior, e-training, and employment security positively influence stress management and employee performance in virtual organizations. Moreover, stress management acts as a full mediator in the relationship between leadership behavior and employee performance, while partial mediation occurs between e-training, employment security, and employee performance. This study offers valuable insights into the literature by proposing leadership behavior, e-training, and employment security as input in the stress management process to attain the performance output of teaching staff. Higher education institutions should come forward to assist their teaching employees in managing their stress levels for better outcomes.

“…In this regard, it may be pointed out that these effects of COVID-19 were the main reason for employees' stress and the decline in work performance [44]. According to Ince [32], compared with the condition before COVID-19, employee performance during COVID-19 has decreased.…”

“…On the other hand, regarding the physical and mental condition of employees, the COVID-19 pandemic effects also influence their work performance. During the COVID-19 pandemic, employees began to become increasingly concerned about safety, the risk of becoming infected with the virus, social exclusion, financial loss, and job insecurity [44], which means that they felt threatened by these effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

“…According to Ince [32], compared with the condition before COVID-19, employee performance during COVID-19 has decreased. Moreover, studying the links between the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and employees' performance, Hamid et al [44] found that the effects of COVID-19 have a significant negative impact on employee work performance. In addition to behavioral changes and the physical and mental condition of employees, the effects of the pandemic, such as social distancing and working from home, also require adjustment of the workplace.…”

“…Previous research shows that crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, affect not only physical and mental health and well-being but also employee performance [49]. In the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the fear of contracting coronavirus has become a stressor for employees, and undoubtedly affects employee performance, whether they are working from home or at the workplace [44]. A number of work-related stress factors, also felt during the pandemic, such as job uncertainty and the threat of unemployment at work, were directly linked to an unexpectedly low level of performance [56].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the imposition of certain changes in the management of organizations and in the behavior and actions of employees. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic effects on employees’ health and mental well-being, as well as on their working performance. Moreover, the paper aims to highlight whether health- and work-related stress factors mediate the above relations. For the purpose of data collection, a structured questionnaire was used. The first results of the study showed that the pandemic effects felt by employees did not directly affect their mental and physical well-being. On the other hand, the COVID-19 pandemic effects felt by employees affected their general work performance. The findings of the study may provide a useful perspective for organizations and their employees in order to adopt the most effective measures to minimize the effects generated by the pandemic.
