“…According to studies by Schall (2019) and Nuwer (2016), as the intensity of remote work increases, so does job satisfaction, but only to a certain point. Based on recent studies (Irawanto, Novianti & Roz, 2021), the higher the intensity of remote work, the more satisfied employees are. In the group of people who spend only ¼ of their time working remotely, 82% of the respondents said they want to work remotely more often (Buffer and AngelList, 2020).…”

“…But given that remote work increases employee satisfaction, its effectiveness affects workforce tension and the amount of work spent by the employee per unit of time (European Parliament, 2021).

Background: Work-from-home (WFH) has become a more common alternative work arrangement to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection amidst pandemic. Although WFH was a fantasy for many employees prior to the pandemic and offered some advantages, it has proven to be a difficult work arrangement for most telecommuters during this pandemic situation. Objective: Considering the challenges experienced by telecommuters and to improve their well-being, this article reviews some of the challenges experienced by telecommuters in a pandemic situation. The impact of personal resources such as self-efficacy and flow on Work Life Balance (WLB) were also reviewed. Besides that, influential WLB theories were also reviewed. Design: Relevant work life balance and well-being articles published before and after the pandemic between 1990 to 2021 were identified for review using appropriate keywords. Results: WFH has many benefits, but when implemented in a forced manner in a pandemic situation, employees experienced blurred boundaries, leading to poor WLB. Resources such as self-efficacy and flow can help telecommuters deal with this unprecedented crisis in a more regulated, calm and positive manner. Review of theories and literatures contributed to the development of a Crisis Induced Resources and Balance/Conflict Framework. Conclusions: Pandemic situation has worsened work life balance of telecommuters who struggle in creating and maintaining the boundary between work and home. However, telecommuters can learn to regulate themselves more effectively and manage their boundary with others. Government and companies can communicate better WFH guidelines, policies and also show support to their workers during this crisis.

This study aimed validate the Italian version of the Professional Stress Scale (PSS). A questionnaire was translated into Italian and administered to two sample groups. The first group (n = 200) was the control group and the second (n = 1137) the experimental group. The participants in the study were students enrolled in a special needs training teacher course or a specialization course that aims to train support teachers. The study conducted two analyses; factor and reliability analyses. The factor analysis utilized the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test which had a result of 0.925 for the scale; this was above the acceptable value of 0.7. The research studied 33 items and the BTS was significant for the 33 items scale (χ2 (528) = 4353.508, p < 0.001). Moreover, five eigenvalues greater than 1 were identified in the data, whereas the total variance explained was 63.7%. The reliability test utilized the Cronbach’s Alpha score (0.936) of the scale and the value is calculated based on the response of 1106 individuals. The value is well above the value of 0.80, which indicates a high internal consistency level of the different items of the scale. This study showed that the Italian version of the PSS is a reliable and valid measure that can be used for research and clinical purposes.
