“…Since the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments all over the world have carried out a series of prevention and control measures, including close restraints on going out and public gatherings, temporarily closing public places, the implementation of strict body temperature detection, calling for people to wear a face mask, shutting down enterprises and factories, closing schools, quarantine at home, and more (Kuntz, 2021 ; Liu et al, 2020 ). These emergency response measures have indeed effectively reduced the transmission of the COVID-19 pandemic and slowed the growth rate of cases (Tian et al, 2020 ).…”

This study highlights a survey on 5783 kindergarten teachers’ occupational commitment and its influencing factors in the socioeconomic context of China during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected through the WenJuanXing public online platform. Quantitative analysis results showed that kindergarten teachers’ occupational commitment was optimistic on the whole during this period, among which the affective commitment and the normative commitment were satisfactory, but the continuing commitment needed to be strengthened. The type of kindergartens, the personnel affiliation, the educational background, and the professional post of kindergarten teachers had significant impacts on their occupational commitment. The income reduction was negatively correlated with and predictive of kindergarten teachers’ occupational commitment. Anti-epidemic action and career confidence were positively correlated with and predictive of kindergarten teachers’ occupational commitment. Furthermore, anti-epidemic action, income reduction, and career confidence had joint predictive effects on kindergarten teachers’ occupational commitment. More related backgrounds and suggestions have been discussed.

“…The pandemic will most certainly show a long‐term impact on how work is organized. Fostering employees’ resilience through structural as well as individual measures will be important (Kuntz, 2021). A different pace of “normalization” can be expected across countries and across different employment groups.…”

“…In her article “Resilience in times of global pandemic: Steering recovery and thriving trajectories”, Kuntz (2021) draws on qualitative data from 61 workers in New Zealand to examine the individual and organizational level factors that support employees to shape resilience trajectories in the aftermath of the COVID‐19 pandemic. In doing so she highlights three resilience trajectories experienced by employees that have been identified in previous work on workplace resilience after crises.…”

“…Both studies also proposed policy-related organizational solutions for enhancing the resilience and improving individuals’ adaptability in difficult times. In contrast, Joana Kuntz 64 and Ye et al 65 chose to focus their research on individuals’ characteristics and identify psychosocial risk factors. Interestingly for our study, the respondents who chose to provide personal contact information and requested feedback proved to be more resilient, but no other distinguishable patterns were found.…”

Purpose The year 2020 was marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, massively disruptive at the general population level and for healthcare systems. We aimed to evaluate the psychological distress associated with work-related experiences among medical professionals and supporting staff during the pandemic outbreak. Patients and Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted between April and May 2020, employing a self-administered on-line questionnaire that included the collection of socio-demographic and professional status information, Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Maslach Burnout Inventory - General Survey, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and a subscale of the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) for empathy. A total of 364 professionals of the county-coordinated area responded. Descriptive statistics summarized the findings and a mediation model was analyzed, applying the causal step strategy. The specific direct and causal mediation effects were estimated with the bias-corrected and accelerated bootstrap sampling method. Results Anxiety, burnout, stress, resilience, and empathy proved to be significantly associated with both the professional category (ie, consultant, specialty doctor, trainee doctor, senior nurse, trainee nurse or other) and the perceived professional support (the nonparametric multivariate permutation test resulted in p=0.048 and p<0.001, respectively). When controlling for the marital and professional status, the female gender had an OR=2.26, 95% CI (1.21; 4.22) toward a high level of empathy compared to males. The causal mediation effect of the perceived lack of professional support on empathy through burnout-depersonalization was highly significant (p<0.001) with an average of 0.0599, 95% CI (0.0238; 0.10), while the direct effect was non-significant (p=0.536) with an average of 0.0295, 95% CI (−0.0774; 0.15). Conclusion We highlighted the impact of the lack of professional support on healthcare workers’ empathy through burnout-depersonalization in a context of a high workload, time pressure, job stress beyond previous training, and inherently limited organizational support, which are potentially modifiable factors in the mid-term.
