“…In the distance learning process, students' performances are affected by psychosocial, anthropometric, and environmental factors (Barattucci, 2019;W. Liang et al, 2019;Pereira et al, 2021). Students cannot learn effectively using computers that they feel uncomfortable with (Oyadeyi, 2018).…”

In the current scenario of public health crisis, the work environment has become the Home Office. The present article has the objective of performing a case study, in the form of an opinion survey, about the ergonomics of the academic community of a higher education institution that started to work in a home office regime, aiming to study the impacts related to the transition from work outside the home to the home office due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The present work consists of a descriptive research of the case study type using a form, whose data were treated quantitatively and qualitatively. The methodology of this study was divided into the following steps. The first stage consisted of the literature review, whose objective was to find documents and scientific productions relevant to the topic discussed in this article. Then, a Google Forms form was created, to be directed to the academic community (teachers and administrative technicians) of the Polytechnic School of Pernambuco - POLI/UPE. After completing the application of the form, the information collected was treated according to the Bardin Method. Among the employees of the analyzed EI, 88% reported complaining of pain in at least one part of the body while working in the home office model, even though 55% of them previously considered that the ergonomic conditions of their respective workstations were "good or excellent". Among the complaints, neck pain (64.4% of the cases), stand out.

Employee turnover is a disruptive and costly phenomenon for organizations. Understanding the causes of turnover and how to mitigate such causes offers a tangible benefit to organizations, especially as it relates to Millennials which are the largest portion of the workforce in 2020. The study herein sought to determine whether Millennial generation employee perceptions of leadership style have an association with job satisfaction for college-educated, full-time employees at a mid-sized professional services firm in the United States. The relationship between perceptions of leadership style and employee job satisfaction were evaluated via a non-experimental quantitative study. The research design was a cross-sectional survey administered to 1,567 participants with 354 usable responses obtained. Data collected via a survey demonstrated there is a statistically significant moderate correlation (rs = .32, p < .01) between perceptions of leadership style and job satisfaction at the scale level and that the relationship is stable regardless of gender, tenure, ethnicity, or age. The findings support previous studies of various generational cohorts and extend the knowledge base specific to a Millennial subgroup. This study extends the body of knowledge related to the Full Range of Leadership Theory and adds information for a specific generational cohort in one industry segment. Implications include opportunities for organizations to implement leadership development programs focused on specific behaviors that will increase employee satisfaction.

“…In the distance learning process, students' performances are affected by psychosocial factors besides anthropometric and environmental factors (Barattucci, 2019; W. Liang et al, 2019; Pereira et al, 2021). The International Labor Organization (ILO) has defined psychosocial factors based on the interaction between job satisfaction, job organization and management, environmental and organizational conditions, and the expertise and needs of workers (Joint ILO/WHO Committee Health, 1986).…”

Many governments decided to cancel face‐to‐face teaching and learning activities in schools and universities. They replaced them with online teaching and distance learning activities to prevent the spread of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). Due to this sudden change, students experienced some anthropometric, environmental, and psychosocial difficulties at home during the distance learning process. This study focuses on determining the importance of anthropometric, environmental, and psychosocial factors in the distance learning process during the COVID‐19 pandemic. This study presents main factors and their subfactors affecting ergonomic conditions of university students during distance learning. A novel distance learning ergonomics checklist is proposed based on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration checklists. The data are collected via a questionnaire filled by 100 university students who attend the Ergonomics course online. Then, the integrated methodology includes Voting Analytic Hierarchy Process integrated Pythagorean Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to An Ideal Solution method is adopted to prioritize the factors determined. Thirty‐nine different subfactors are evaluated under five titles, and the most important factors are determined using the proposed methodology. With the results achieved, it is seen that the suggested checklist and proposed methodology can be used by public and private education organizations as a guide for improving their distance learning strategies.
