“…It is well-known that quarantine has a rather negative impact on human relationships, health behavior and well-being and can cause psychological and mental issues such as irritability, insomnia, fear, and anxiety or concentration problems [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. The COVID-19 pandemic changed daily routine, quality of life and way of work completely and globally [ 7 ]. According to restrictions, home quarantine had been enforced and their impact on adults’ health behavior, emotional and mental health, and well-being remain mainly undefined [ 8 , 9 ].…”

Our study aims to present the perception and experiences of employees at a large multinational telecommunications company in Hungary working in home offices, as well as their health behavior and the workplace health promotion during the SARS-CoV-2 COVID-19 outbreak. The sample consisted of the full sample of highly skilled employees at a large telecommunication multinational company (N = 46). Throughout the analysis, tests for homogeneity of variance were followed by a MANOVA test to compare the groups’ means by gender, age, and job classification. The results clearly show that in the short term, workers’ mental health did not deteriorate, they do not argue or fight more with their partners and are no more depressed or irritable than before. Workers are less likely to think of ways to be more effective at work than in a home office. Similarly, they do not think that employers have more expectations than before the pandemic. Our research shows the assumption about home workers being less efficient or less diligent in their daily work to be false. A supportive and flexible employer approach to health-conscious employees will be an essential aspect in the future.

“…8 Recent articles addressed the issue of the consequences of the Covid 19 (exogenous) shock, showing how pervasive lockdown measures, supply chains disruptions and the sudden fall in the demand have hurt firms worldwide, especially small and medium enterprises (Bartik et al;Fairlie;. Moreover, the unprecedented nature of the shock has drastically increased uncertainty, already high because of the US-China trade war and a weak World Trade Organization (WTO) (Buchheim et al;Baker et al;Hassan et al;.…”

“…At the same time, examining how firms respond to the unprecedented event would offer insights for not only scholars regarding firms' behaviors but also policymakers to understand potential and timely stimulus from their needs. Firms are more likely to engage in wage cuts (Meyer et al, 2021 ), investment reduction (Buchheim et al, 2020 ), and innovative accelerated development (Ahlstrom & Wang, 2021 ). Survey data are critical for determining the status of the economy and the appropriate government response, particularly when more objective measures (like gross domestic product [GDP] data) may not be timely.…”

We use the unique data set of 16,300 firms' responses for the large‐scale census survey in an urban area at Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) to study how firms perceived their problems and responded to during the COVID‐19 pandemic. We provide estimates of 65 cross‐associations between a firm's challenges during the pandemic and their responses. We find several firm characteristics that suggest increased likelihood of pandemic response, including some, such as state ownership, which are typically associated with being slow to respond to market conditions. A theoretical model is posited that matches with the rapidly declared survey response.
