“…It involves frequently adapted wrong body posture, including the back, forearms, and wrists, as well as repetitive movements, as well as long, uninterrupted periods of continuous work. These elements may contribute to the development of musculoskeletal problems, with particular emphasis on the lumbar region, hands, wrist, arms and also the neck [ 52 , 56 ]. One of the possibilities of solving these problems and reducing their negative effects is the use of ergonomic equipment, characterized by, inter alia, the possibility of adapting a given component to the individual characteristics of the user.…”

The purpose of the research paper is to analyse the factors affecting remote work in terms of the selected socio-economic criteria and to determine which elements contribute the most to the development of sustainable work. In addition, the study describes the issues of remote education at the academic level and the challenges faced by academic teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The whole is embedded in the issues of occupational health and safety, with particular emphasis on the psychosocial aspects of the occupational safety of academic teachers in Poland. In the research process, the TOPSIS multi-criteria analysis tool (technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution) was used, as well as AHP (analytical hierarchy process), as an auxiliary method. The use of these methods made it possible to select the most important variable and to determine the ranking of factors affecting the analysed problem. Findings: According to the conducted research, the most important factor affecting the safety of remote work—in relation to the selected sustainability criteria—is overwork/workload. An equally important element was stress during remote work, as well as the organization of time, with consideration to the balance between work and home duties. The research has shown that the selected aspects of remote work can have a significant impact on the achievement of sustainable development goals by a given organization, and in relation to individuals, on the quality of life and the sense of safety and health at work.

“…Standard office work gives you the opportunity to take breaks that are beneficial for your health, for example for social meetings. What is important is that a remote worker should employ some self-discipline to take the necessary breaks and only work at the computer for a specified period of time [ 56 , 57 ].…”

“…Increased sitting time causes an increase in the severity of low back pain. Furthermore, Edwar et al (2020) use structural equation modeling to evaluate the working style model with work posture factors and musculoskeletal pain. They indicate that several distance learning factors contribute to the musculoskeletal disorders of students during the pandemic.…”

Many governments decided to cancel face‐to‐face teaching and learning activities in schools and universities. They replaced them with online teaching and distance learning activities to prevent the spread of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). Due to this sudden change, students experienced some anthropometric, environmental, and psychosocial difficulties at home during the distance learning process. This study focuses on determining the importance of anthropometric, environmental, and psychosocial factors in the distance learning process during the COVID‐19 pandemic. This study presents main factors and their subfactors affecting ergonomic conditions of university students during distance learning. A novel distance learning ergonomics checklist is proposed based on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration checklists. The data are collected via a questionnaire filled by 100 university students who attend the Ergonomics course online. Then, the integrated methodology includes Voting Analytic Hierarchy Process integrated Pythagorean Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to An Ideal Solution method is adopted to prioritize the factors determined. Thirty‐nine different subfactors are evaluated under five titles, and the most important factors are determined using the proposed methodology. With the results achieved, it is seen that the suggested checklist and proposed methodology can be used by public and private education organizations as a guide for improving their distance learning strategies.

“…However, working remotely also entails some challenges and risks such as lack of social interaction, difficulty setting boundaries between work and personal life, and the need for adequate technological infrastructure and remuneration (Edwar et al 2020;The El Kadri Filho and Lucca 2022b;Felstead and Henseke 2017). Teleworking can lead to isolation, lack of support from colleagues and supervisors (Ruiller et al 2019), and feelings of loneliness (Oakman et al 2020).…”

The quantity of teleworkers had already been rising in various work fields even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it was not until the pandemic that it spread to other sectors such as the industrial sector. There are still few studies looking at telework’s impact on this important sector. This article is intended to discuss: (1) the extent of teleworking in manufacturing, (2) its adjustment to the industrial sector (challenges and benefits), and (3) its prospects for the future. To this end, 31 in-depth interviews have been conducted with four Plant Managers and seven Human Resource Directors of 11 industrial companies in Burgos (Spain) and surroundings, as well as 20 of their workers. Pre-pandemic teleworking was only active in one of the enterprises and now there are workers that work remotely in 9 out of 11. All interviewees agreed that teleworking will gradually expand. The study shows concerns and challenges when it comes to communication, trust, control, and productivity. It highlights the importance of establishing clear policies on teleworking and how to deal with remuneration, expense reimbursements, and equity between teleworkers and on-site workers. Overall, industrial-sector teleworking has brought positive results in terms of productivity and job satisfaction levels, but it has also resulted in new demands on aspects such as ergonomics, negative habits (food and physical inactivity), communication, and work–life balance.
