“…Fourth, our results showed that people who worked from home or did not work during the pandemic presented greater problems of coexistence than key workers who have continued to work in person. Previous research (Charalampous, Grant, Tramontano, & Michailidis, 2019;Gajendran & Harrison, 2007) indicates that con icts and disturbances between household members will increase as working from home practices are extended, as it blurs the boundaries between workspace and home life. In fact, almost 50% of employees who have been working from home during the COVID-19 crisis reported additional con icts with their family members and stated that they bother them more frequently (Baert, Lippens, Moens, Sterkens, & Weytjens, 2020).…”

Home confinement during the COVID-19 crisis causes problems in everyday life that can affect people's mental health. In this context, the purpose of this study was (1) to identify the most frequent problems experienced during the home confinement, (2) to analyse whether these problems vary according to socio-demographics; and (3) to study the influence of home confinement on mental health. One thousand five hundred sixty-nine participants living in Spain during the COVID-19 lockdown answered an online survey including questions about socio-demographics, problems of home confinement and mental health. We used factor analysis to group the home confinement problems into identifiable categories. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods for comparison between socio-demographics were used, and the influence of subsets of home confinement problems on mental health was analysed by multiple linear regression.The 16 evaluated problems were grouped into three factors: “Anger and Frustration”, “Deprivation of Social Contact”, and “Living Together Issues”. The most frequent problem was “missing somebody”, while “being afraid of going mad” was the least frequent one. Women, young people, people with less space at home, and teleworkers and non-working people during the lockdown period reported more home confinement problems. The Anger and Frustration factor was the one most related to mental health. These results highlighted the problems that people had to face during home confinement and their influence on mental health. Finally, the paper suggests designing specific strategies to cope with these problems according to participants’ socio-demographics.

“…The interview guideline was developed by the author team in two iterative circles and was informed by research in the fields of connectivity (Dery et al, 2014;Kolb et al, 2012), remote work (Charalampous et al, 2019;Koslowski et al, 2019) and technology disconnection (Cai et al, 2020). The interview guideline consisted of questions around if and how the enforced working from home situation has changed the way our participants use technology to a) complete their work tasks, b) collaborate with their peers and superiors and c) interact with their clients.…”

COVID-19 has caused unprecedented challenges to our lives. Many governments have forced people to stay at home, leading to a radical shift from on-site to virtual collaboration for many knowledge workers. Existing remote working literature does not provide a thorough explanation of government-enforced working from home situations. Using an affordance lens, this study explores the sudden and enforced issues that COVID-19 has presented, and the technological means knowledge workers use to achieve their team collaboration goals. We interviewed 29 knowledge workers about their experiences of being required to work from home and introduced the term "enforced work from home". This paper contributes to the affordance theory by providing an understanding of the substitution of affordances for team collaboration during COVID-19. The shifting of affordances results in positive and negative effects on team collaboration as various affordances of technology were perceived and actualised to sustain "business as usual".

“…Acharya [32] studied remote workers in virtual teams in the area of administration and economy in three cities in India. Charalampous et al [33] and Donnelly and Johns [34] researched the areas of psychology, business and administration. The first analyzed 63 quantitative, qualitative and mixed studies, finding social isolation to be a negative factor.…”

Modern developments in technology have changed the way we socialize, communicate and work. Globalization, Information and Communication Technologies, digital culture and the increase in the amount of technology available for online communication mean that more organizations are implementing virtual teams. The growth in the use of virtual teams in organizations has incited researchers to investigate the different aspects, factors and challenges of these teams. This article uses a systematic literature review and a bibliometric analysis of virtual teams to identify the most relevant articles on the subject. These articles are then thoroughly reviewed and finally, a summary is made of all the research published over a five-year period. The systematic review of literature proposed by Ramey and Rao [1] and enhanced by Pulsiri and Thesenvitz [2] was used to examine the Scopus and Web of Science databases to identify the theories, research problems, research methodologies and results of 2354 studies on virtual teams published between 2015 and 2019. The main topics of the existing research in the field are reviewed, and the main limitations, problems and existing gaps in research are presented.
