Purpose: This study aimed to compare and analyze the job stress of nurses with and without in COVID-19-related work. Methods: A structured self-reported questionnaire survey was conducted to assess job stress. The extent of job stress was compared between nurses with COVID-19 (COVID-19 group) and those without such experience (non-COVID-19 group). Multiple regression analysis was performed to identify the factors influencing job stress. Results: Job stress was higher in the COVID-19 group compared to the non-COVID-19 group (t=2.54, p=.12). In sub-categorical comparison, stress driven by a taxing work environment, relationship conflict, and work schedule was higher in the COVID-19 group than the non-COVID-19 group. Multiple regression analysis revealed the job stress was higher among nurses with COVID-19-related work experience than that of non-experienced nurses. The factors affecting job stress of nurses with COVID-19-related work experience included emergency room work, providing nursing assistant for COVID-patients, and caring for these patients. Conclusion: Since COVID-19-related work experience is a major factor that affects nurses' job stress, it is imperative to provide various support measures for nursing assistants such as providing a break from working in an environment with high risk of infection, adjusting work schedules, resolving conflicts between personnel, and securing support.

The present study examines the impact of COVID-19 anxiety on employees' psychological resources and behaviors, drawing on the conservation of resources theory. We also investigate whether flexibility in work contexts has a meaningful effect on employees' responses to the pandemic. A total of 284 working adults participated in an online survey consisting of self-reporting questionnaires that assessed levels of COVID-19 anxiety, vigor, innovative work behavior, and flexible working arrangements. The results showed that the level of vigor mediated the positive relationship between COVID-19 anxiety and innovative work behavior, and the perceived level of flexible working arrangements moderated this mediation effect positively. The findings highlight the importance of considering employees' psychological resources and work arrangements in managing the negative impact of COVID-19-related anxiety. This study provides theoretical and practical implications for organizations to better understand the psychological processes that employees undergo during a crisis. Further research on diverse work settings and cultural backgrounds is needed to expand on the present findings.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the mediating effect of Psychological stress of COVID-19 stress on the relationship between nursing work environment and turnover intention of nurses in long-term care hospitals. Methods: The participants were 176 nurses working at three long-term care hospitals in Changwon City. Data were collected from August 11 to 14, 2021, using self-report questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and hierarchical regression, using the SPSS 23.0 software. A mediation analysis was performed according to the Baron and Kenny's test, and Sobel test. Results: Turnover intention was positively correlated with Psychological stress of COVID-19 stress (r=.23, p=.002) and negatively correlated with nursing work environment (r=-.44, p<.001). Psychological stress of COVID-19 stress had a significantly negative relationship with nursing work environment (r=-.15, p=.045). Psychological stress of COVID-19 stress partially mediated the relationship between nursing work environment and turnover intention. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that a positive nursing work environment can help nurses reduce their Psychological stress of COVID-19 stress and turnover intention. To reduce the turnover intention among nurses' in long-term care, it is necessary to promote better work environments suitable for COVID-19 and to establish detailed strategies for reducing their physiological stress.

Purpose: This study aims to explore the distribution of work-life integration against COVID-19 and its Implications by analyzing remote work in Switzerland. Research design, data and methodology: The study performed literature review and descriptive analyses using various data such as perception surveys, statistics, and related documents. Results: The infectious disease was a turning point for many people in Switzerland by changing where and how people want to live. Since the COVID-19 crisis demonstrated that disease could be spread by proximity, negative perception about urban areas expanded, and rural areas are increasingly preferred due to fresh and clean air and a more ecological lifestyle. In addition, increased remote work, a change brought about by COVID-19, has subsequently led to changes in household habits and needs. Distance from work is no longer an important factor when someone chooses where to live. A trend is now emerging where households wanting to improve the quality of life leave the city center and move to the suburbs. Conclusions: Paradoxically, such trend accelerated by the COVID-19 crisis has an unintendedly positive impact on the distribution of work-life integration across society while providing more flexibility in terms of place and time management and lowering the burden on roads and infrastructure.

COVID-19로 인해 전 세계적으로 경제는 악화되었으며 국내 역시 큰 타격을 받게 되었다. 이에 정부는 중소기업들이 겪고 있는 자금난 해소를 위해 전례 없는 COVID-19 관련 재정지원 정책을 시행하였다. 또한, 정부는 COVID-19 확산이 지속되자 비대면 접촉을 권고했으며 그에 따른 지침과 방안을 내세움에 따라 공공부문과 민간부문의 조직들은 비대면 형태의 업무방식을 도입하였다. 이러한 상황을 고려하여 본 연구는 COVID-19 관련 재정지원 정책이 중소기업의 혁신에 미치는 영향을 규명하였다. 또한, 기업의 혁신을 위해서는 정부의 지원과 같은 외부적인 지원도 중요하나 내부적 역량 역시 중요한 요인에 해당한다. 따라서 기업가정신이 제품혁신에 미치는 영향을 파악하였으며, 더하여 비대면 형태의 업무방식이 활성화됨에 따라 스마트워크를 도입한 기업과 도입하지 않는 기업 간 비교를 통해 스마트워크의 효과를 파악하였다. 가설검증을 위한 자료수집은 과학기술정책연구원에서 제공하는 한국기업혁신조사-2020년 (제조업)의 자료를 활용하였다. 또한, 가설검증을 위해 성향점수매칭을 이용해 표본에 대한 선택편의를 줄인 이후 스마트 도입 기업과 도입하지 않은 기업 간 집단을 분류하여 다중회귀분석을 시행하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 기업가정신의 경우 스마트워크 도입 여부에 상관없이 중소기업의 제품혁신에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. COVID-19 재정지원정책의 경우, 금융지원은 스마트워크를 도입한 기업에게만 제품혁신에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤으며 이외에 지원정책은 스마트워크 도입 여부에 상관없이 제품혁신에는 효과가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 분석결과 기업가정신은 스마트워크 도입 여부에 상관없이 정(+)의 영향을 나타냈으며, COVID-19 관련 재정지원정책은 지원유형에 따라 혼재된 결과를 보여주는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과를 토대로 정책적 및 학문적 시사점을 제시할 수 있었다.

Singapore's construction sector employs more than 450,000 workers. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in Singapore from April to June 2020, migrant workers were disproportionately affected, including many working in the construction sector. Shared accommodation and construction worksites emerged as nexuses for COVID-19 transmission. Official government resources, including COVID-19 epidemiological data, 43 advisories and 19 circulars by Singapore's Ministries of Health and Manpower, were reviewed over 8 month period from March to October 2020. From a peak COVID-19 incidence of 1,424.6/100,000 workers in May 2020, the incidence declined to 3.7/100,000 workers by October 2020. Multilevel safe management measures were implemented to enable the phased reopening of construction worksites from July 2020. Using the Swiss cheese risk management model, the authors described the various governmental, industry, supervisory and worker-specific interventions to prevent, detect and contain COVID-19 for safe resumption of work for the construction sector.

Purpose: This study is a descriptive research that analyzes the current status of education for COVID-19 response tasks and factors affecting work fatigue of primary health care practitioners who have experience in dispatching to respond to COVID-19. Methods: This study collected data through an online survey from September 21 to 29, 2022, targeting 193 primary health care practitioners. The data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and logistic regression analysis using the SPSS 25.0 program. Results: 74.1% of the study subjects were dispatched without receiving disaster medical training to respond to COVID-19. 59.6% of the study subjects' work fatigue was above the level of being very tired. The factors that affect the work fatigue of the subjects were disaster participation experience, work intensity, compensation regulations, compensation satisfaction, and understanding of COVID-19 guidelines. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, an educational program for systematic disaster response and preparation for primary health care practitioners in charge of public health care should be developed to efficiently cope with the occurrence of new infectious diseases in the future.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the motivation for choosing a major, COVID-19 anxiety, and work values on the employment preparation behavior of health college students and to provide evidence for developing programs for employment preparation behavior in the future. Methods : Employing a random sampling method, a survey was conducted from April 22 to June 3, 2022, using an electronically-disseminated questionnaire with college students majoring in medical technician, health administration, and nursing from D and K colleges located in Daegu. A total of 402 students who fully understood and agreed to the purpose of the study participated. The SPSS statistical program was used to analyze the collected data, which were verified using correlation and regression analyses. Results : The results of the study are: First, employment preparation behavior was positively correlated to major selection motivation, COVID-19 anxiety, and work values. Second, significant relationships were found between employment preparation behavior and motivation behind choosing a major, work values, and COVID-19 anxiety, in that order. The higher the major selection motivation, work values, and COVID-19 anxiety were, the better the employment preparation behavior was. Conclusion : The study's results indicate that it would be meaningful to provide health college students who were highly motivated to select their major and who possess sound work values with well-prepared job training programs. Various activities organized by the school for improving the students' self-satisfaction and self-efficacy, which can strengthen their long-term work values, could also be provided. In addition, due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, college students may feel anxious about new infectious diseases that might occur in the future. Therefore, considering the contemporary situation, a helpful educational program will be invaluable to fit the pupils for life's battle after they finish their education.
