“…Working at home may lead to working in isolation, inevitably denying them of the readily available help and consultation from colleagues and seniors (Awang, 2020). The notion that one must be available at all times to meet the intrusive leadership style of supervisors may inevitably lead to prolonged hours of work (Magnavita, Tripepi, et al., 2021). Fear of the unknown, fear of the disease, and the lack of information could also have contributed to the high anxiety (Wang et al., 2020) as a majority of them (59.1%) in this study had vulnerable family members in their households who were of concern.…”

As social work under normal circumstances is already a stress‐laden helping profession, this study intended to examine the level of psychological distress among the frontline social workers during the COVID‐19 pandemic and whether resilience and organizational support played a part in mitigating their psychological distress. Frontline social workers from various social service sectors across Singapore were surveyed using two standardized measurements to assess resilience (Connor‐Davidson Resilience Scale 25) and psychological distress (Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale 21). A self‐designed questionnaire comprising 10 items measured “personal” and “work‐related” support at the organization. Sociodemographic data were captured using a structured questionnaire. The results showed that the frontline social workers, although resilient, were psychologically distressed in all the three areas of depression, anxiety and stress. The results indicated that those working in the Family Service Centers (FSC) were the most affected. Significant correlations were observed between psychological distress, resilience, and organizational support. Organizations must be mindful that support can help frontline staff who are usually younger and less experienced during challenging times such as the pandemic. Building the resilience of social workers will prepare them for their daily challenges and those that accompany unexpected situations.

“…Hypothesis 1a and Hypothesis 1b are supported in this study. The results suggest that disrespecting an employee's leadership style does lead to poor work behaviours [6]. The reason why employees in the petrochemical industry choose to lower their safety behaviour level after experiencing abusive supervision may be due to the phenomenon of social exchange.…”

“…It is characterized by a supervisor who continues to exhibit hostile verbal and nonverbal behaviours to subordinates (excluding physical contact) [5]. Negative leadership, such as intrusive leadership, can lead to bad work reactions from employees [6]. Therefore, as a kind of leadership behavior similar to abusive supervision that does not respect employees, abusive management may also lead to bad work reactions from employees.…”

Leadership behavior has an impact on the behavior of employees. Previous studies have mainly studied the impact of positive leadership behaviors on employees’ behaviors, but there is an absence of research on the impact of negative leadership behaviours (abusive supervision) on safety behaviours (including safety participation and safety compliance). In this study, 599 front-line employees in the petrochemical industry were selected as subjects. Abusive supervision, safety behaviour, safety motivation and a conscientiousness questionnaire were used as measurements to explore the relationship between abusive supervision and employee safety behaviors, and to further explore the roles of safety motivation, conscientiousness and the relationship between them. This study found that abusive supervision is negatively related to employee safety behaviours (safety compliance and safety participation); that safety motivation plays a mediating role in the relationship between abusive supervision and employees’ safety behavior; and that conscientiousness moderates the role of safety motivation between the relationship of abusive supervision and employees’ safety behaviour. With a higher level of conscientiousness, the indirect relationship between abusive supervision and employee safety behaviours is weaker. Finally, we discuss the theoretical and practical significance of these findings for abusive supervision and the management of safety behaviours.

“…Telework is a polysemic term on which there is abundant literature [ 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 ]. It has evolved since its initial use by Nilles [ 83 ] in the 1970s, with the practice of working at home to avoid gasoline consumption in the United States due to the oil crisis of those years [ 83 , 84 ].…”

If there is any field that has experienced changes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is work, primarily due to the implementation of teleworking and the effort made by workers and families to face new responsibilities. In this context, the study aims to analyze the impact of work–family conflict on burnout, considering work overload, in teleworkers during the COVID-19 pandemic. To evaluate the hypotheses, we used data collected during the last week of July 2020 using an online survey. Work–family conflict and burnout were measured using the Gutek et al. (1991) and Shirom (1989) scales. We tested the hypotheses using a structural equation model (SEM). The results indicated, between other findings, that there was a positive relationship between work–family conflict and family–work conflict and all the dimensions of burnout. However, there was no effect of teleworking overload in the work–family conflict and burnout relationship. This article is innovative because it highlights the importance of the economic and regulatory conditions that have surrounded the modality of teleworking during the pandemic, and their influence on wellbeing and psychosocial risks in workers.
