Chapter Chapter 2 in Effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Employee Well-Being, 2023, pp 13-27 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract It is pertinent to note that employees are an organisation’s most important asset, hence it is important to create a positive work environment so as to encourage human development, and a flourishing performance. Reports show that employees’ enjoyment of their work is a significant factor because it contributes to their creativity and development. The ongoing pandemic has caused a major disruption to people’s lives, especially working individuals, who experienced conflicts within themselves. As the seriousness of the pandemic mounted, individuals have had to work on an unprecedented work environment. Many were taken by surprise by unknown situational cues, thereby presenting them with numerous challenges. In particular, the context in which employees’ behaviour was assessed had an important role to play. The pandemic has undoubtedly, caused working individuals to become uncertain when faced with the new condition and way of working. Such uncertainties can eventually create detrimental effects on their wellbeing. This chapter seeks to understand the conflicts they experienced. It discusses the way in which the individuals feel and think, and how they overcome these challenges. This chapter serves as a platform for the discourses of individuals experiencing conflicts during the COVID 19 outbreak, as a means offering new possibilities of overcoming these obstacles.
