Understanding stressors of strain and its influence on the perception of remote work productivity and remote work satisfaction during Covid-19 : Social Isolation as an antecedent

Abstract

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on humanity in general and Vietnam is an undeniable fact. As the result, the social distancing mandate as well as the form of working from home becomes an urgent requirement and therefore social isolation becomes an inevitable and irreplaceable outcome, thus more research on this topic is of importance. The current research aims at examining the link of social isolation to stressors generated from the use of ICTs when teleworking, the link of these stressors to strain, which influence remote work satisfaction and productivity. Applying Person-Environment Fit theory, the study will comprehensively examine correlations among these variables.
