Abstract

In this qualitative study spread across three Indian states—Assam, Kerala and Maharashtra, we explore how 13 Indian staff nurses working full time in the first wave of the COVID pandemic cope with the increased job demands and perceived psychological contract breaches (PCB) from a work−home resources (W−HR) perspective. The study utilises the W−HR model as a theoretical lens to analyse the nurses’ lived experiences through a phenomenological approach. We could observe that a significant black swan event such as the pandemic can trigger resource depletion at work and home and materialise in PCB at work for the nurses. Nurses then resort to sensemaking to tide over the pandemic-affected work circumstances by balancing contextual demands and personal resources. By integrating PCB experienced by these nurses via a W−HR model framework, we address calls by researchers to understand how psychological contracts change over time.

从家里借力:大流行期间印度护士工作需求管理的定性研究

在这项横跨印度阿萨姆邦、喀拉拉邦和马哈拉施特拉邦三个邦的定性研究中，我们从工作-家庭资源(W - HR)的角度探讨了在第一波COVID大流行中全职工作的13名印度护士如何应对不断增加的工作需求和感知的心理契约违约(PCB)。本研究利用W - HR模型作为理论透镜，通过现象学方法分析护士的生活经验。我们可以观察到，像大流行这样的重大黑天鹅事件可以引发工作和家庭的资源枯竭，并在护士工作时体现为多氯联苯。然后，护士通过平衡环境需求和个人资源，求助于意义构建来渡过受大流行影响的工作环境。通过W - HR模型框架整合这些护士的PCB经验，我们解决了研究人员的要求，以了解心理契约如何随时间变化。

期刊介绍： South Asian Journal of Human Resources Management (SAJHRM) is a peer-reviewed scholarly outlet for publications on HRM in and out of South Asia. It includes countries that are members of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), namely, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. In terms of the discipline focus, all articles broadly focusing on the theory and practice of managing human resources for the benefit of individuals, firms and community at large will be acceptable. In view of the contemporary focus on Strategic HRM, the journal coverage would also include comparative research and other related management disciplines as long as one of the key aims of the manuscript is on harnessing the potential of human capital. Considering the uneven economic development within the South Asian region, the journal encourages potential authors to explore broader implications of their scholarly views and findings on the region as a whole. A distinguishing feature of the journal is its focus on “HR in Practice”. Apart from theory, it will pay significant attention on how HRM is practiced in and out of South Asia. The journal features conceptual and empirical research papers, research notes, interviews, case studies and book reviews. In short, to be considered for publication, a manuscript should broadly focus on managing people and contextualised within one or more South Asian countries at the firm, regional, national and international levels.
