“…When productivity focussed groups have strong relational bonds, reflected several dimensions of spatial well-being, reiterative caring becomes part of organisational processes and norms. Finally, SoWT provides a compelling framework for developing an understanding of the spatial dimensions of well-being within a digitally mediated work environment, which shapes different organisational behaviours (Kilpatrick et al, 2022). A key tenet of this theory is that perceptions of one's space influences productivity and also has crucial role in shaping the individual's well-being (Beasy et al, 2020).…”

PurposeIn contrast to prior studies examining burnout in academic employees, this paper explores how academic employee agency mitigates burnout risks in the context of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and how this agency facilitates research productivity and influences well-being in the face of changes in learning and teaching practices.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use collaborative auto-ethnography (CAE) in the higher education (HE) sector to probe how an employee productivity group supported the group's members during the pandemic.FindingsThematic analysis revealed four emerging themes: burnout, beneficial habits for research productivity, blocking-out-time and belonging. The authors' findings suggest that by acknowledging and legitimising employee-initiated groups, feelings of neglect can be combatted. Purposeful employee groups have the potential to create a therapeutic, safe space and, in addition to the groups' productivity intent, diminish the negative effects of a crisis on organisational effectiveness.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the literature by utilising a CAE approach to provide greater insight into how academics enact agency by creating digital research workspaces, attending to the spatial dimensions of well-being especially during turbulent times.
