“…Work overload is the perception of having too much to do [104,105] and can impact negatively on productivity [106], reduce organizational commitment, and increase absenteeism due to illness [107]. Various studies [106,[108][109][110][111][112][113][114][115][116] have associated work overload with high levels of work-family conflict [117]. People who are often working from home change their working hours and experience an increased likelihood of interruptions and distractions because of the presence of their family, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic [118].…”

If there is any field that has experienced changes as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is work, primarily due to the implementation of teleworking and the effort made by workers and families to face new responsibilities. In this context, the study aims to analyze the impact of work–family conflict on burnout, considering work overload, in teleworkers during the COVID-19 pandemic. To evaluate the hypotheses, we used data collected during the last week of July 2020 using an online survey. Work–family conflict and burnout were measured using the Gutek et al. (1991) and Shirom (1989) scales. We tested the hypotheses using a structural equation model (SEM). The results indicated, between other findings, that there was a positive relationship between work–family conflict and family–work conflict and all the dimensions of burnout. However, there was no effect of teleworking overload in the work–family conflict and burnout relationship. This article is innovative because it highlights the importance of the economic and regulatory conditions that have surrounded the modality of teleworking during the pandemic, and their influence on wellbeing and psychosocial risks in workers.

“…This study reinforces the results of previous studies, which found out that emotional intelligence had a significant positive effect on the work-life balance of the employees.

The purpose of this study is to research and evaluate work-life balance as a mediator between work-family conflicts, emotional intelligence, and employee performance. Employees were polled and interviewed to gather data. The study used PLS and structural equation modeling to examine the aforementioned correlations (SEM). The current study adds to the existing body of information by examining work-life balance as a moderator of the effects of work-family conflicts and emotional intelligence on employee performance in a business. Data research revealed that work-family conflict has a considerable favorable impact on employee performance. This demonstrates that emotional intelligence may have a direct impact on employee performance. This reveals that work-family conflict has no direct impact on work-life balance. Data research demonstrated that emotional intelligence influenced work-life balance positively. Furthermore, data analysis revealed that work-life balance had a favorable influence on employee performance. The geographical and institutional particular focus, as well as the short sample size, are limitations. This study has the potential to contribute to the scientific understanding of human resource management, particularly those connected to the application and development of the idea of performance.

“…Considering the "human characteristics" in risk assessment all the three dimensions of matching job to the person should be considered, which are the job, individual factors and the organization (Andrew & Sofian, 2012;Kumarasamy et al, 2015;Martin & Schinke, 1998).…”

Workplace risk assessment is a valuable tool to identify hazards, reduce risk and improve working conditions. During the last few years, scientific research has identified the so-called emerging risks that include issues like psychosocial risks, gender, ageing etc. However, previous studies have identified that risk assessment, when conducted, rarely takes into consideration those emerging risks, even though they can significantly affect occupational safety and health. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of including all those factors in the actual workplace risk assessment that is conducted and reviewed by enterprises of any size. The need of including “human characteristics” when conducting a risk assessment is highlighted. Workers’ participation and job crafting could adjust physical, psychological and cognitive requirements to perform the job duties, as well as boundaries. Physical differences (as body build, gender, health, capability) as well as mental differences (attitude, motivation, perception) will need to be consider carefully when establish controls for work activities. Moreover age, organizational factors and culture can strongly influence human behavior. The need for a dynamic risk assessment, continually improved while considering human characteristics is highlighted. Finally, a framework for conducting a holistic Risk Assessment is proposed identifying key issues that should be considered.
