ABSTRACT
The pandemic has caused several changes that have led companies to look for strategies to continue their production processes and protect the health of workers. Among these strategies, the most important is Teleworking. Objective: To analyze the perceptions that Chilean workers have on the impact of teleworking in terms of work stress, work-life balance and satisfaction, in a contingency environment as a result of COVID-19. Material and Method: Quantitative, relational and cross-sectional research using convenience sampling and data from 225 Chilean workers who were teleworking as a result of COVID-19 and responded to the on-line survey. An instrument with 26 items was applied to workers of legal age who were carrying out activities from home, between the months of September to October 2020, collecting 181 useful responses. Results: People working from home correspond mostly to single women, between 24 to 40 years old, who work in the field of education or the public sector and have work experience of more than ten years;there is a positive relationship between job satisfaction and teleworking (r= 0.381), while for the variables work stress and work-life balance a negative relationship was observed (r=-0.408). Conclusion: Teleworking produces stress symptoms among workers, such as tension and/or anxiety. Nevertheless, workers have a positive attitude towards this modality, trying to adapt and seeking support from other people. © 2021, Universidad de Concepcion. All rights reserved.
ABSTRACT
The Sars-Cov-2 virus caused the Covid-19 disease at the end of 2020. At the beginning of this century this has been one of the news that has most affected humanity, from a social and psychological point of view, due to the material and life loss that it has caused, in addition to its collateral effects. To counteract these impacts, knowledge, various fields of human activity are activated and new mitigation strategies are added and created. One of the areas that has contributed the most during the quarantine period is sports culture, sports and especially its teaching methods. The purpose of this work is to systematize a set of scientific elements related to sports activities in the Covid-19 era, with a focus on the use of online environments and technologies. It is intended to analyze the main positions of the author in order to obtain standards on the potential of virtual physical education to face the impact of the disease. Along with this process in stages, a set of suggestions will be added to improve the work of physical education teachers through virtual environments and technologies.
