“…There is a consensus that the pandemic has caused unprecedented changes in mobility habits in many countries. Growing trends in travel by private cars (Campisi et al 2020 ), e-commerce and online shopping and work (Villa and Monzon, 2021 ; Primecz 2021 ), less desire for public transportation (Tirachini & Cats 2020 ), and connecting and meeting online (Nabity-Grover et al 2020 ) have been observed in many countries. Advances in smart solutions and technologies have played a major role in creating these changes (Nabity-Grover et al 2020 ).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic is the most difficult challenge that has affected humanity in recent decades. It has disrupted many features of development with domino effects in the social sphere. This study reviews the literature on the social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and identifies the affected social areas that have undergone dramatic changes during the pandemic. We use inductive content analysis and thematic analysis to review the literature. The results show that there are seven major areas that have been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic: health, social vulnerability, education, social capital, social relationships, social mobility, and social welfare. The literature has reported dramatic psychological and emotional effects, exacerbation of segregation and poverty, disruption in educational systems and formation of an information gap, as well as a declining trends of social capital among communities. We highlight some lessons that can be learned from the pandemic to enhance social resilience in future. Among others, to effectively respond to the pandemic and other potential future adverse events, governments should adopt fair policies, identify the required changes in the socially affected contexts and take necessary responsive actions, and adopt collaboratively designed approaches to increase social resilience.

“…Ozcelik and Sevinc (2022) states that being lonely at home was also identified as a negative aspect for work from home concept. Primecz (2022) states that online meetings provided an excellent tool to share documents and work on projects with several people with reduced travelling time and higher productivity. Wong et al (2021) argued that that on -line working styles are not suitable for hands -on work and only limited days of the year can work be done at house for operations such as writing reports of field visits.…”

Due to technological innovations, work from home allowed flexibility and personalization to the existing staff. The recent pandemic has highlighted the benefits and challenges of working from home. The research paper will use convenient sampling by targeting OAB employees from head office for their working from home. The purpose of this study is to investigate how OAB employees collaborate online work from home (WFH) during pandemic. Shift of working culture will be analyzed based on employee satisfaction levels. Secondary data will be analyzed based on critical literature review of WFH and its issues and challenges faced by employees.

“…The focus of this paper is specifically on SIEs employed on local, contracts in their host countries, where the initiative for the move was taken by the individual (Andresen et al, 2012). Thus, there is no organizational relocation support or onboarding measures as would be the case with a traditional company-transferred expatriate (Caligiuri and Lazarova, 2002;Caligiuri et al, 2020;Philips, 2020;Primecz, 2021;Shao and Al Ariss, 2020).…”

“…It is important for organizations to become aware of the impact of external crises on the individual's micro-environment: For women, the need to care and protect their families may take precedence during times of crisis (Primecz, 2021). The focus of the individual shifts to the CDI 28,4 own inner circle and work intensification over the duration of the crisis can add to the load that is already on the shoulders of this vulnerable group (Stroud Stasel, 2023).…”

PurposeSelf-initiated expatriates (SIE) women's career decisions are often based on the establishment of close personal relationships in various spheres of life. This paper aims to explore the effects of social isolation in times of crisis on SIE women's work, psychological and general adjustment.Design/methodology/approachThe model of expatriate women's adjustment by Caligiuri and Lazarova (2002) is reviewed and adapted to account for the impact of social isolation and loneliness on SIE women's adjustment and professional development in a crisis context. The interplay between duration and intensity of crisis and acculturative stress over time is highlighted; danger zones for potential maladjustment are identified, and adjustment-as-a-crisis context are incorporated into the model.FindingsThe spillover effects between different life spaces in times of isolation have a negative impact on SIE women's ability to develop supportive relationships in different life spaces. The organization becomes the main point of contact with the host culture, but pressure to perform, uncertain contracts, gendered role division and the experience of a double crisis add to the existing acculturative stress which may lead to maladjustment or further fit-dependent crisis over time.Originality/valueThe authors contribute to the theoretical understanding of the impact of social isolation on a single, vulnerable acculturating group, by expanding on an existing static model of adjustment, to account for the temporal (time) and spatial (multi-dimensional crisis context) constraints faced by SIE women which has not been done before.
