“…Potential risk factors inducing exacerbated feeling of mental fatigue may be difficulties in separating work and personal life as induced by teleworking (Borowiec & Drygas, 2022;Fan & Smith, 2018) and a reduced cognitive functioning provoked by the lockdown-related changes in the work condition (Fiorenzato et al, 2021). It was previously shown that such situation could directly lead to a burnout syndrome if no considering measures are taken (Demerouti et al, 2002;Ekstedt et al, 2006).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic and its lockdown in March 2020 have led to changes in lifestyle and heightened levels of anxiety, depression, and fatigue. This survey examined the factors (affective state, sleep quality, daily activities, mental load, work-related variables) influencing mental and physical fatigue during lockdown and how these relations have evolved one year later. A cohort of 430 workers and 124 retirees were recruited in April-May 2020 (lockdown period, dataset 1), and a subsample (133 workers and 40 retirees) completed the same questionnaire in April-May 2021 (dataset 2). Generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) analyses showed a significant subjective increase in both physical and mental fatigue in both worker and retiree groups during lockdown, and a supplementary increase in physical fatigue and anxiety level at spring 2021 compared to the lockdown period. During lockdown, anxiety level, concerns about COVID-19, work flexibility, mental load, and sleep metrics were associated with the evolution of fatigue among workers. For retirees, only anxiety and physical activity levels were linked to changes in physical fatigue. In April-May 2021, the only associations which remained significant were those in workers between fatigue and anxiety level and workload. These findings suggest that factors accounting for an increased fatigue level during the lockdown seems to be related to the rapid lifestyle adjustments to the sanitary crisis. On the other hand, the increase in fatigue observed one year after the beginning of the pandemic seems to result from more psychological factors associated to the health situation.

“…The relationship between low levels of balance work and personal life and negative health effects has been confirmed by the results of this study. People who suffer from work-life balance deficiencies more often report health ailments such as musculoskeletal diseases, headaches/eyestrain, physical and mental fatigue that occur in middle-class people or middle-class life (Borowiec & Drygas, 2022) Another study reveals new facts about the relationship between flexible wage components and firm performance using a unique matched employer-employee database from Hungary. Firms that provide a flexible wage component adjust total wage compensation more to income shocks than firms without flexible wages.…”

Unemployment in Indonesia is a problem with an urgency to provide a solution to improve social life. As unemployment increases, the poverty rate also increases. The purpose of this study is to identify and explain and overcome poverty and unemployment in Indonesian society. Efforts to reduce the unemployment rate and concomitantly reduce the poverty rate are equally important. The results of the study recommend that policy making in handling unemployment in Indonesia focuses more on microeconomic factors. This research is expected to contribute to the analysis of the unemployment rate in Indonesia in the study of business and microeconomics.

Objectives: The main objective of this research was to investigate the Work-life balance (WLB), mental health, and quality of life and their associated factors among Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) in Sudan during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic during 2021.Methods: An observational cross-sectional web-based survey was conducted during August-December 2021 among a sample of 430 HCPs working in the hospitals of four Sudanese states. The study used the WHOQoLBREF scale, Work-Life Balance Scale, and General Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7).Results: HCPs reporting a poor quality of life made up 33.5% (95% CI 29.1–38.0), while those reporting worse WLB made up 52.6% (95% CI 47.8–57.2). HCPs reporting moderate to severe anxiety symptoms accounted for 35.8% (95% CI 31.4–40.5). The Multiple Regression model indicated that an increase in the anxiety scores is associated with a decrease in Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) (β= 0.831, p < 0.05). Female HCPs exhibited 4.53-fold lower HRQoL scores than their male colleagues (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Approximately one-third of the HCPs in Sudan reported low HRQoL and suffered from moderate to severe anxiety, while a large portion of them had an unequal work-life balance during COVID-19. Health policies addressing these factors are needed to improve the quality of health of HCPs.
