“…Burnout is a psychological response to chronic occupational stressors and has become a global epidemic in the workplace [4,35]. Emotional exhaustion, the primary manifestation of burnout, is defined as a chronic feeling of emotional and physical depletion caused by superabundant job demands [3,4]. Previous studies have found that emotional exhaustion, compared with depersonalization and diminished personal accomplishment, is a consistent sub-dimension of burnout in relationships with antecedent or outcome variables [7,36].…”

“…Simultaneously, with organizations becoming flatter, the wider spans of control aggravate the management difficulties of frontline managers. These factors create significant pressure and may threaten their physical and mental health, leading to serious job burnout [1][2][3][4]. "Burnout" is a widely studied topic in occupational health psychology, and refers to a state of physical and mental fatigue related to negative attitudes toward work.…”

Frontline managers have many responsibilities and often suffer from emotional exhaustion. Drawing on the job demands–resources model, this research proposes and examines a cognitive–affective dual mediation model to explain how frontline managers’ sense of power affects their emotional exhaustion through managerial self-efficacy (cognitive path) and affective commitment (affective path). A cross-sectional study design was employed, and the theoretical model was tested using a three-wave survey among 227 on-the-job Master of Business Administration (MBA) students (52.86% male) in China, who serve as frontline managers in different kinds of organization. The regression and bootstrapping analysis results showed that the frontline managers’ sense of power was significantly negatively related to emotional exhaustion. In other words, the more powerful they felt, the less exhausted they felt. Furthermore, having a sense of power enhanced managerial self-efficacy, which mitigated emotional exhaustion. Sense of power also boosted frontline managers’ affective commitment, alleviating emotional exhaustion. We conclude with a discussion of this study’s theoretical and practical contributions and future research directions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to numerous changes in work environments. Thousands of workers quickly found themselves having to telework without being prepared, which had consequences on their well-being. Authors proposed telework practices that promote the well-being of workers in a pandemic context, but less attention has been paid to consider the needs of disabled workers. Purpose. This study aimed to explore the effects of telework during the pandemic on the well-being of people with disabilities. Methods. Following an interpretive descriptive research design, interviews were conducted with 16 workers with disabilities (i.e., motor, or sensory). The data were analyzed using a thematic analysis strategy. Results. The results revealed 15 factors that influence the well-being of teleworkers with disabilities. These factors are related to interactions between three spheres of the worker's life: the individual, the organization, and the environment. Ten recommendations are proposed to consider the reality of disabled individuals in the telework practices. Conclusion. Given that telework has expanded since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and will likely continue to remain a widespread modality of work delivery, it becomes even more important to expand knowledge about it, to benefit the well-being of disabled teleworkers.

“…Since the literature review leads to the understanding that teleworking during the pandemic had mental (e.g., stress), physical (e.g., fatigue) and social (e.g., isolation) consequences on individuals with disabilities, we approach health according to the WHO definition: "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being" [27]. This holistic definition of health involving mental, social, and physical dimensions often appears in work-related literature [28,29] and structures the present study.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to numerous changes in work environments. Thousands of workers quickly found themselves having to telework without being prepared, which had consequences on their work experience and health. Authors proposed telework practices that promote the healthy work experience of workers in a pandemic context, but less attention has been paid to consider the realities and needs of individuals with physical disabilities. Purpose This study aimed to explore the influence of telework during the pandemic on the work experience of people with physical disabilities. Methods Following an interpretive descriptive research design, interviews were conducted with 16 workers with physical disabilities (i.e., motor, or sensory).
