摘要

在新冠肺炎疫情防控措施下,就业形势的变化和挑战不可避免。早期证据表明,与男性相比,这一流行病对女性的影响更大。这项探索性研究以建筑业女性劳动力为重点,探讨了与她们工作状况变化相关的挑战、为应对这些挑战而采取的战略以及她们对大流行病期间女性劳动力就业状况的看法。内容分析的结果显示,排名靠前的挑战是:(1)过度工作;(ii)工作空间;(iii)社会互动;(四)合作;(五)养育子女。应对这些挑战最常被引用的策略是:(i)增加视觉交流;(ii)专门的工作空间;(3) self-scheduling;灵活的工作安排;(五)划分工作时间和个人时间。证据表明,大多数挑战是相互关联的,被调查者采取的策略是多层次和相互依存的。结果还显示,被提及最多的观点是女性劳动力中照顾和家庭责任的增加。在大流行持续时间和未来传染浪潮不确定的情况下,这些发现对于告知用人组织在大流行期间及以后更好地支持其女性员工的人力资源管理挑战至关重要。

Women Workforce in Construction during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Challenges and Strategies
Changes and challenges in employment are inevitable under the measures enacted to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. Early evidence suggests that the pandemic would disproportionately affect women compared to men. Focussing on women workforce in construction, this exploratory study examines the challenges associated with changes in their job situations, the adopted strategies in addressing the challenges and their opinions on employment situation of women workforce during the pandemic. Results of a content analysis show that the top ranked challenges are: (i) overworked; (ii) working space; (iii) social interactions; (iv) collaboration; and (v) parenting. The most cited strategies in addressing these challenges are: (i) increased visual communication; (ii) a dedicated workspace; (iii) self-scheduling; (iv) flexible working arrangements; and (v) breaking out work time and personal time. The evidence is suggestive that most challenges are interrelated, and the strategies adopted by the respondents are multi-level and interdependent. The results also show that the most mentioned opinion is the increased caring and domestic responsibilities among women workforce. Under the uncertainty about the duration of the pandemic and future contagion waves, these findings are critical in informing employing organizations’ human resource management challenges to better support their female employees during pandemic time and beyond.
