COVID-19, declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has become a serious crisis and health emergency. It has impacted everyone at an economical, societal and individual level. The catastrophic impact has led to a high degree of business uncertainty. Organizations are concerned about retaining employees on the one hand, and the deterioration of their business due to the ongoing lockdown on the other. Business organizations need a safe socio-economic environment to thrive, but due to safety measures, such as social distancing, many workers have been forced to change their working habits, such as working from home.
Throughout this time, employees around the world have come to rely on remote leadership and management. Many organizations have come to rely on social media platforms and computer-supported applications to perform routine work in order to comply with the Government’s instructions on social distancing and lockdown.
Although there are many challenges associated with remote working, the novel situation brought on by COVID-19 has also led to employee benefits.
Therefore, this Research Topic invites researchers to contribute by covering the benefits as well as the challenges of social media reliance on remote work practices at the individual, team, and organization level during COVID-19. Examples might include: remote working and improvement in technological skills or the impact on work through spending more time with family On the other hand, remote working also comes with its challenges, especially for those with low information technology capabilities.
