Perception of Pre-Computerization Generations on Teleworking During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Authors

Abstract

During the pandemic, society had to adapt to the new reality of social isolation. Teleworking — incipient until then — became a routine for
workers whose trades made it possible. This research sheds light on pre-computerization generations facing the new technological and
family challenges within this context. The objective of the research was to analyze the perception of workers born before 1972 about possible attitude changes during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was qualitative, exploratory, and cross-sectional research. Participants answered open-ended questions about six categories defined ex-ante. Data were treated
with the content analysis technique, with the support of IRAMUTEQ. The result was a predominance of positive perceptions about teleworking, as it restricts the possibility of contagion and provides family protection.
Technological learning and routine adaptation were important in combating the health crisis. The accumulation of tasks and the loss of
professional contact were challenging. Future studies could investigate the new family interactions and their dynamics during teleworking.


Keywords: teleworking, pandemic, behavior.
