Satisfaction With Working from Home Under the Influence of COVID (Accepted)
Type of Abstract (select):Abstract (max. 250 words):
In our study, we present the effect of COVID on satisfaction with the form of working from home. Due to the pandemic, the cessation of attendance at work in many sectors, and its economic implications, the study of the home office as an atypical form of work is topical and particularly important. Our research question is whether there is a relationship between employee demographics and satisfaction with the home office. Based on the above, we hypothesize that there is a correlation between employee demographics (gender, age, education, place of residence, and the number of minor children under 12) and home office satisfaction. In the course of the research, we interviewed 600 Hungarian residents aged 18-64 with an online questionnaire who had ever worked at home for a total of at least three months in a home office. The research took place at the end of the 3rd wave of COVID, between May and June 2021. Examining the demographic variables, it can be concluded that women are more satisfied with the home office than men. However, for the other demographic indicators, we could not show a significant relationship.
