“…With our focus on one specific organization, we avoided any interference by unobserved industry factors that also might predict employees' idea championing (Howell, 2005;Van de Ven, 1986). The data collection period, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, was marked by substantial turmoil at the industry level, as well as diminished productivity, so most organizations were hard pressed to get employees to contribute to their survival and success (Gould and Gallagher, 2020). The daily stresses of the pandemic also increased the chances that employees experienced family-related worries that could interfere with their work (Kumar et al, 2021).…”

PurposeThis study addresses how and when the experience of family-induced work strain might steer employees away from efforts to promote innovative ideas. In particular, it proposes a mediating role of role ambiguity and moderating roles of two coworker resources (goal congruence and goodwill trust) in this process.Design/methodology/approachThe research hypotheses are tested with data obtained from a survey administered among employees who work in a professional services organization.FindingsAn important explanatory mechanism that links family interference with work to diminished championing efforts is that employees hold beliefs that their job roles are unclear. The extent to which employees share work-related mindsets with coworkers, as well as their belief that coworkers are trustworthy, attenuate this harmful effect.Practical implicationsFor HR managers, the study shows a clear danger that threatens employees who feel drained by significant family demands: The negative situation may escalate into work-related complacency (diminished championing), which then may generate even more hardships. As it also reveals though, employees can leverage high-quality coworker relationships to contain this danger.Originality/valueThis study adds to HR management research by investigating the role of negative spillovers from family to work in predicting idea championing, as explained by negative beliefs about job-related information deficiencies but buffered by high-quality coworker relationships.

“…Specifically, instead of standard five-year length, renters are signing new contacts for a two-year term. In sum, the Covid-19 pandemic is an unprecedented opportunity for Israel to adopt teleworking as a modern labor arrangement with its associated environmental benefits (Gould and Gallagher, 2020).…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate whether the shift to teleworking during COVID-19 pandemic is going to diminish the need to procure/rent extensive office space and how this emerging trend impacts the real-estate market in Israel. Design/methodology/approach The methodologies used in this study include triangulation of Google search engine, survey and post hoc case study analysis. Findings The analysis indicates a decline both in procuring office space and its price per square meter. Employee productivity while teleworking remains relatively high despite home distractions. Interestingly, the survey results forecast a continuous shift to hybrid work mode after the pandemic. Practical implications The study introduces the development of numerous innovative Israeli technologies to allow a gradual return to work in public places. Social implications As the coronavirus outburst, business sectors were forced by government regulations to change the way of employment extensively, specifically, teleworking has become an integral part of the routine to accommodate social distance. The study provides insights into the impact of teleworking on gender and ethnic diversity in the Israeli workplace. Originality/value Israel provides a unique bedrock for investigation because of its status as a start-up nation with both high skilled workforce and advanced information technology infrastructure. The study enlightens an Israeli perspective on how a small size country with a high-density population succeeds to deal with coronavirus by teleworking coupled with strict government enforcement of social distance.

“…Since then, several businesses have advanced it with flexible work arrangements, and numerous studies have shown that allowing employees to WFH increases employee motivation while also lowering the expense of infrastructure and daily expenses to commute to the office. Work life balance and work culture have undergone a paradigm shift as a result of the rise of WFH , and the economy has seen both favourable and unfavourable effects (Gould & Gallagher, 2020). WFH is a hybrid work paradigm that can be used to provide a highly skilled and well-paid workforce in the midst of the epidemic (Singhal & Sneader, 2020).…”

The COVID-19 drastically changed the social system and working patterns throughout the world, especially in the IT sector. COVID-19 was the first situation when the whole workforce switched to the telecommuting for an extended length of time. During the COVID-19 situation, it’s been observed that working women are facing more challenges while performing WFH in both mental and physical ways by handling multiple tasks at a time. Managing a better work-life balance was an actual stress in between all the household chores and social responsibilities and their professional career was in high risk. This paper provided an insight to identify the significant factors of working from home that influence the career progression of workforce in the IT sector and to know the impact of these factors on their professional paths. This quantitative study will be built upon primary data collected by the IT employees. In the data collection process we have applied purposive sampling of around 320 employees of IT sector. Further Factor analysis combined with regression and correlation analysis will be used to evaluate the collected data. As result of study found that IT employees are most significantly impacted by the organisational factor, individual factor and work productivity factor during WFH.
