 Work-related Stress and Subsequent Productivity in a Teleworking Environment Induced by Pandemic-related Confinement. Evidence from the Public OrganizationsOvidius University Annals, Economic Sciences Series, 2020, vol. XX, issue 1, 337-341 Abstract: The present study is focused on the public sector employees’ perception on telecommuting during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the subsequent ways of measuring the personnel’s productivity and related work performance indicators. We rely on the world’s largest public organization’s evidence associated with the mentioned topic and discuss the various challenges related to the new way of working, undergone by both the employers and employees in order to move forward during austere times. Findings suggest that while telecommuting has proven to be a reliable solution in the public sector for continuing to deliver on its mandate, the subsequent productivity deteriorated in relative terms as compared to the “in-office†efficiency of the public servants. The main reasons, mechanisms and paradigm changes are depicted and explained.
