Abstract

Virtual working became the norm for most organizations since March 2020, and it brings well-recognized challenges. But we know little about the impact of virtual working on managerial behavior. This article presents the results of three surveys conducted before and during lockdown to understand what changed. It shows how managers became more blinkered: turning inward, becoming task-focused at the expense of relationship-building, and finding few opportunities to develop new skills. The article offers practical suggestions for how the evolution of managerial work might be accelerated, so that managers can become more effective in this changing environment.

眨眼的老板：随着虚拟工作的转变，管理行为发生了怎样的变化？

自2020年3月以来，虚拟工作已成为大多数组织的常态，它带来了众所周知的挑战。但我们对虚拟工作对管理行为的影响知之甚少。本文介绍了在封锁之前和期间进行的三次调查的结果，以了解发生了什么变化。它显示了管理者是如何变得更加狭隘的:转向内部，以牺牲关系建设为代价而变得专注于任务，并且几乎找不到发展新技能的机会。这篇文章为如何加速管理工作的演变提供了切实可行的建议，以便管理人员在这种不断变化的环境中变得更有效。
