Abstract

Expectations of teaching staff employed in higher education institutions worldwide transformed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The rapid shift to online curriculum delivery, with teachers working from their homes, resulted in significant changes to employer-employee workplace relations and management systems (some temporary; others permanent). Following the Job Demands-Resources Model as a theoretical framework, this study adopts a systematic literature review research methodology using the PRISMA approach and a deductive thematic analysis to analyse and synthesise the literature on working from home in higher education published during the pandemic (2020+). The findings indicated a convergence between the identified challenges and increased job demands such as workload and role ambiguity, along with a dearth of job resources encompassing infrastructure, training, and support. In addition to establishing support policies and providing training opportunities, the study raised the need for reassessment and modification of work policies in higher education to support work-from-home settings navigating the post-pandemic era.

高等教育中的在家工作：系统回顾

在 COVID-19 大流行期间，世界各地高等教育机构聘用的教职员工的期望发生了变化。由于迅速转向在线课程授课，教师在家工作，雇主与雇员之间的工作场所关系和管理制度发生了重大变化（有些是临时性的，有些则是永久性的）。本研究以 "工作需求-资源模型 "为理论框架，采用 "PRISMA "系统文献综述研究方法和演绎式主题分析法，分析和归纳了大流行病（2020+）期间发表的有关高等教育在家办公的文献。研究结果表明，已确定的挑战与工作需求的增加（如工作量和角色模糊性）以及包括基础设施、培训和支持在内的工作资源的匮乏是一致的。除了制定支持政策和提供培训机会外，该研究还提出了重新评估和修改高等教育工作政策的必要性，以支持在家工作环境在后流行病时代的发展。
