“…Pandemics and epidemics have a lasting effect on the economy and society as a whole Hussain et al 2022). According to Yang et al (2022), the epidemic in the early 1830s, when cholera struck France (and other parts of central Europe) hard, was a case in point. Despite the fact that the disease killed at least 3% of Parisians in the first month, it was instrumental in spurring France's industrial revolution (Ahmad et al 2020;Ahmad and Wu 2022;Wen et al 2022).…”

The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in the China has exposed small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to a variety of challenges, some of which are potentially life-threatening to their sustainability. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the macroeconomic lockdown effects of COVID-19 on small business in China. A survey questionnaire with 313 participants was used to collect the data. In this study, the SEM technique was used to analyse model. The data have been gathered for the study from the managers and employees of Chinese SMEs. The findings of the study show that COVID-19 has a significant negative impact on financial performance, operational performance, profitability, access to finance, and customer satisfaction. According to the study's findings, external support aids have a greater impact on SMEs' ability to survive and thrive through innovation than on their actual performance. The findings of this study have a number of important practical consequences for small-and medium-sized business owners, governments, and policymakers.

“…Based on our understanding of the terms used over the past three decades and following the stages of operationalization of definition, WFE is defined as geographically flexible work settings (Chaudhuri et al, 2022) where employees work in both physical and virtual modes (Yang et al, 2022), utilize both synchronous and asynchronous channels of communication to upskill (Cui et al, 2021), share knowledge efficiently (Clark et al, 2021), with the management expectation of inclusiveness (Clark et al, 2021). This overarching definition outlines that it encompasses new standard work settings and has a universal application.…”

PurposeTeleworking, working from home and flexible work have gained popularity over the last few years. A shift in policies and practices in the workplace is required owing to the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating current trends in work-from-everywhere (WFE) research. This article presents a systematic literature review of WFE research from 1990 to early 2023 to understand the transformation of the field.Design/methodology/approachThe Web of Science database was used to conduct this review based on rigorous bibliometric and network analysis techniques. The prominence of the research studied using SPAR-4-SLR and a collection of bibliometric techniques on selected journal articles, reviews and early access articles. Performance and keyword co-occurrence analysis form the premise of cluster analysis. The content analysis of recently published papers revealed the driving and restraining forces that help define and operationalize the concept of WFE.FindingsThe major findings indicate that the five established and accelerated trends from cluster analysis are COVID-19 and the pandemic, telework(ing), remote working, work from home and well-being and productivity. Driving and restraining forces identified through content analysis include technological breakthroughs, work–life integration challenges, inequality in the distribution of jobs, gender, shifts in industry and sector preferences, upskilling and reskilling and many more have been published post-COVID in the restraining forces category of WFE.Practical implicationsA key contribution of this pioneering study of “work from everywhere” is the linking of the bibliometric trends of the past three decades to the influencing and restraining factors during the pandemic. This study illustrates how WFE could be perceived differently post-COVID, which is of great concern to practitioners and future researchers.Originality/valueA wide range of publications on WFE and multiple synonyms can create confusion if a systematic and effective system does not classify and associate them. This study uses both bibliometric and scientometric analyses in the context of WFE using systematic literature review (SLR) methods.

“…In a similar vein, mainly relying on digital communication instead of having face‐to‐face interactions may have caused elderly people without access to or knowledge of technology to feel left out and overlooked (Seifert, 2020; Seifert et al., 2021). Switching to digital communication may also have created higher risks of feeling excluded and ignored online (i.e., cyber ostracism), with negative consequences for students and employees who were forced to study and work online (Sarfraz et al., 2023; Yang et al., 2022). Moreover, in the context of discussions of the pandemic's origin, individuals of Asian descent faced racist discrimination, stigmatization, and social exclusion across the world (He et al., 2020).…”

Unvaccinated and left out: The mismatch of vaccine supply and demand during COVID‐19 as a source of interpersonal and societal exclusion

At the beginning of the COVID‐19 vaccination campaign, many countries faced a mismatch between the demand and supply of vaccines. Particularly in countries where different rights were granted to vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, this situation may have fostered what we here refer to as policy‐induced feelings of social exclusion. Using data from Germany in spring 2021, we investigate how individuals’ vaccination status related to feelings of (1) being excluded by others (interpersonal level) and (2) being excluded by the government (societal level) at a time when vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals had different rights. We find that being unvaccinated is associated with feeling excluded by others and by the government and that individuals generally report higher levels of exclusion by the government than by other people. These findings have important implications for policymakers not only in times of a pandemic but in light of major crises more generally.
