“…Although researchers in the past have addressed the issue of work-family conflict, but its impact on stress level of employees during a pandemic still remains uncovered. In order to have an effective interaction of work and family dynamics with each other and fulfil high demand pressure from both the domains, people often experience fatigue, stress and anxiety issues (Ro zman and Tominc, 2021). Existing literature on the current pandemic has taken into account the direct impact of COVID-19 challenges on family disturbances (Hsu and Henke, 2020;Marimuthu and COVID-19 challenges and employees' stress Vasudevan, 2020;Alon et al, 2020) on work-life imbalance (Hj almsd ottir and Bjarnad ottir, 2020; Arora and Suri, 2020) and individual stress levels (Baert et al, 2020;Waizenegger et al, 2020;Butler and Jaffe, 2020), but neither comprehensive nor international study has been found analysing the mediating role of family-life disturbances and work-life imbalance between the relationship of COVID-19 challenges and employees' stress.…”

PurposeThe paper focuses on examining the relationship between challenges caused by COVID-19 pandemic and employees' stress through the mediating role of family-life disturbance and work-life imbalance.Design/methodology/approachA total of 1,556 respondents from 45 countries across all continents were included in this survey. Statistical techniques such as exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), correlations, multiple regression and bootstrapping were used to analyse the data.FindingsThe results depicted that COVID-19 challenges induced stress among employees. In combination with this, family-life disturbance and work-life imbalance mediated the relationship between COVID-19 challenges and employees' stress individually as well as serially. The paper further suggests some recommendations to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 challenges on employees' stress.Research limitations/implicationsThe major limitation of the study was in the data collection process. As the data were collected during the time period of pandemic, so, limited respondents were approached. Also, the international and cross-sectional design of the study can limit the applicability of the results.Practical implicationsThe study suggests organizations and HR managers to help in balancing family and work-life of employees, so that their mind can be kept stress free.Originality/valueThe study has added knowledge to the existing literature of stress created due to the COVID-19 pandemic by explaining the serial mediation of family-life disturbance and work-life imbalance between the relationship of COVID-19 challenges and employees' stress.

“…Perceived stress and impact of the social situations related to COVID-19 pandemic that may be determined by various other factors enhance the physical disorder risk such as headaches and back pain. Other study found that there was increase in physical symptoms, such as messy sleep cycle, tiredness and exhaustion, lower back pain and shoulder pain, headaches and migraines, stomach aches and indigestion among the employees during the COVID-19 epidemic (Rožman & Tominc, 2021). This finding should be the focus for further recommendation on protecting the employees' immunity and health especially farmers against COVID-19 and at the same time without sacrificing their productivity.…”

“…Em diferentes países do mundo, os sintomas emocionais relacionados ao estresse, ansiedade e depressão de profissionais atuantes em bancos têm aumentado em razão da pandemia da COVID-19. [16][17][18] Em nossa investigação, os índices de gravidade desses sintomas, também, foram elevados, corroborando com análises relativas à pandemia. Este achado pode estar relacionado ao momento de recolha dos dados, uma vez que até o medo de se infectar tem sido responsável por maiores escores de estresse, depressão e ansiedade nessa pandemia.…”

Introdução: Indivíduos fisicamente ativos parecem apresentar melhores indicadores de saúde mental e estresse em comparação a seus congêneres com prática insuficiente de atividade física. Contudo, a análise da prática de atividade física e de indicadores de saúde mental de trabalhadores do setor bancário não tem sido explorada durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Objetivo: Analisar escores de depressão, ansiedade, estresse e da prática de atividade física em trabalhadores do setor bancário durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Método: Uma estratégia comparativa associativa foi empregada com 21 trabalhadores do setor bancário (24-44 anos, 71,4% mulheres) de uma cidade do Nordeste brasileiro. Um questionário on-line foi aplicado explorando informações sociodemográficas, antropométricas, indicadores de ansiedade, depressão e estresse (EADS-21), de função laboral e do nível de atividade física. A correlação entre os escores EADS-21 e o nível de atividade física foi obtida pelo coeficiente Rho de Spearman e a comparação dos indicadores entre trabalhadores insuficientemente ativos e fisicamente ativos foi realizada pelo teste U de Mann-Whitney. Resultados: O nível de atividade física apresentou uma correlação fraca e inversa com os escores de ansiedade (Rho= −0,15), depressão (Rho= −0,35) e de estresse (Rho= −0,11). Além disso, verificou-se que não houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os trabalhadores do setor bancário insuficientemente ativos vs. fisicamente ativos em relação à ansiedade (P= 0,719), depressão (P= 0,548) ou estresse (P= 0,842). Conclusão: Os indicadores de saúde mental e estresse foram inversamente associados à prática regular de atividade física. Em adição, os níveis de ansiedade, depressão e estresse foram similares entre trabalhadores do setor bancário fisicamente ativos e insuficientemente ativos.
