“…Procedural justice underscores the importance of the fairness of decision-making processes within an organization. Factors such as transparency, consistency, and employee participation in decisions related to resource allocation and distribution are central [63][64][65]. Those scholars have emphasized the significance of procedural justice in shaping employees' perceptions.…”

“…Distributive justice prompts them to assess whether they bear a fair share of responsibilities and opportunities in the post-layoff landscape [60,63]. Procedural justice leads survivors to scrutinize the transparency and consistency of the layoff procedures, searching for evidence that their input was considered [63,64,68]. Interactive justice comes into play as survivors navigate challenging communication about the layoffs, seeking respectful and empathetic treatment from management [66,69].…”

This study explores the impact of COVID-19 layoffs on surviving employees’ perceptions at Airbnb, a key player in the hospitality industry, during the global pandemic. The crisis brought organizational justice into sharp focus, raising questions about fairness, employee satisfaction, and trust in management. Utilizing an interpretivist approach, we conducted fifteen semi-structured interviews with Airbnb employees who survived the layoffs. Accompanied by a comprehensive literature review, our analysis delved into the challenges these employees encountered. The thematic analysis uncovered insights into organizational justice dimensions—distributive, procedural, interactive, and informational—and their role in shaping fairness perceptions and employee outcomes. Findings reveal that despite challenging circumstances, empathetic and proactive practices like regular check-ins and transparent communication significantly helped maintain fairness perceptions among survivors. This counters the common belief that layoffs invariably diminish justice perceptions. Our study demonstrates that negative impacts can be effectively mitigated through thoughtful organizational practices. In conclusion, the research underscores the importance of organizational justice during crisis-induced layoffs. It advocates for maintaining fairness and transparency to preserve employee trust and satisfaction, which are vital for organizational resilience and sustainability. This study enriches the literature on organizational justice and crisis management, providing valuable insights for businesses in similar situations.

“…Other research, meanwhile, has shown clear acceleration of the process of digitalization [Amankwah-Amoaha et al, 2021] and growth in the use of electronic transactions for various types of payments. It has been shown that the consequences of the pandemic have had an effect on global economic growth and have caused mass redundancies [Salman et al, 2021;Kim, 2022].…”

The article analyzes changes on the Polish labor market after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. It aims to assess the effect of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on the transition of people on the labor market in Poland. The decided majority of research into the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the labor market was based exclusively on resource analysis, omitting stream analysis. This research fills this gap and provides analysis by quarter of the transition of people on the labor market between employment, unemployment, and professional inactivity. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a severe drop in the number of people in work in the second quarter of 2020, similar in level to an analogous increase in the number of people professionally inactive. The effects of the pandemic were much more severe for women than for men. Detailed analysis of transitions on the labor market shows that around 50% of jobs lost due to the outbreak of the pandemic were not regained. Many redundancies were permanent, which may translate into a weakening of the dynamic for the recovery of the labor market in the future.

“…During the different phases of the pandemic, many countries either stopped or moved to remote working for nonessential economic activities to avoid the collapse of national health systems (Chauhan et al, 2020;Troccoli et al, 2021;Larsen & Schaeffer, 2021;Negură et al, 2021, Caplanova et al, 2021b, Carlotti, 2021. Conse-quently, the pandemic affected global economic growth and caused widespread job layoffs (Salman, 2021;Kim, 2022;Gavurova et al, 2020b;Stefancik et al, 2021;Vorobeva & Dana, 2021), leading to an increase in unemployment (Barbieri Góes & Gallo, 2021;Su et al, 2021;Svabova et al, 2021), adverse effects on global trade (Espitia et al, 2021;Vidya & Prabheesh, 2020) as well as the tourism and travel sectors (Zhang et al, 2021a;Duro et al, 2021) and reductions in the global flows of foreign direct investments (Giofré, 2021;Kiruba & Vasantha, 2021).…”

Economic growth and labour market in the European Union: lessons from COVID-19

Přívara

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Research background: The world has been fighting the new pandemic caused by COVID-19 since March 2020. The subsequent restrictions on economic activity resulted in a supply shock, accompanied by a supply chain disruption, job layoffs, reduced work time and wages and decreased disposable incomes and taxes, which led to a demand shock. However, whether a close link exists between the number of confirmed cases, deaths and economic indicators during the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain. Purpose of the article: The current study aims to analyse the impact of the number of infections and deaths on economic growth and labour market indicators in the member states of the European Union. Methods: To achieve the main research goal, we conduct a panel data analysis on the quarterly data of 2020. Specifically, we developed three random-effects panel data econometric models to estimate the significance of infection and mortality rates for economic growth as well as employment and unemployment rates. Findings & value added: This study contributes to the existing literature by analysing the link between the infection and mortality rates of COVID-19 and selecting macro-economic indicators within the European Union. The results show that the infection rate is not a significant variable for economic growth and labour market indicators. However, an increase in the number of confirmed deaths has a significantly negative impact on the economy. Moreover, an increase in the mortality rate has a worse impact on the labour market than on economic growth in general. These results can serve as a theoretical basis for future research on the interconnections between pandemics and macro-economic indicators. The findings can also contribute to developing efficient policy instruments for mitigating the negative impact of pandemics in the future, thereby ensuring the cooperation of fiscal, monetary and health policy authorities.
