Abstract

The Problem As most employees have been forced to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, there is considerable concern about how to preserve employee health and well-being by supporting their work in this unpredictable situation. In this sense, research highlighting how to support remote e-workers in the COVID-19 pandemic era is urgently needed to inform scholars and practitioners about effective strategies and interventions to support remote e-workers. The Solution By reviewing conceptual and empirical studies, we discuss the challenges of remote e-workers from the perspective of psychological well-being. We also summarize the factors that support psychological well-being. Based on the findings, we suggest how human resource development (HRD) professionals can support remote e-workers’ psychological well-being and career development in the COVID-19 pandemic era. The Stakeholders This article has relevance for scholars, scholar-practitioners, and practitioners who are interested in seeking ways to support remote e-workers from an HRD perspective across countries, disciplines, and contexts in the COVID-19 pandemic era.

COVID-19时代远程电子工作者的心理健康与职业发展:挑战、成功因素和人力资源开发专业人员的作用

由于大多数员工在COVID-19大流行期间被迫在家工作，因此在这种不可预测的情况下，如何通过支持他们的工作来保护员工的健康和福祉，这是一个相当大的问题。从这个意义上说，迫切需要研究如何在COVID-19大流行时代支持远程电子工作者，为学者和从业者提供支持远程电子工作者的有效策略和干预措施。通过回顾概念和实证研究，我们从心理健康的角度讨论了远程电子工作者面临的挑战。我们还总结了支持心理健康的因素。基于这些发现，我们建议人力资源开发(HRD)专业人员如何在COVID-19大流行时期支持远程电子工作者的心理健康和职业发展。在COVID-19大流行时代，学者、学者实践者和实践者有兴趣从人力资源开发的角度寻求支持远程电子工作者的方法，跨越国家、学科和背景。
