ABSTRACT
The study aims to observe the perception of home office work and the behavior of employees of a credit union. A descriptive, survey and case study, quantitative/qualitative research was carried out. Data collection and analysis took place through interviews and forms. The results indicate that this type of work has shown positive and negative aspects. Regarding the positive aspects, several employees highlight the practicality and economy. However, the main negative points deal with the difficulty in adapting to the sharing of space between work and family. The research contributes to companies, as it enables the construction of strategies to improve the quality of life of workers and productivity in this modality.
ABSTRACT
We exploit the variation in the exposure to the Covid-19 pandemic of US states as a quasi-natural experiment to examine the impact of interest rate policy on credit union lending. We find that the interest rate cut can only enhance credit union lending in states that are less affected by the Covid-19 pandemic whilst hampering credit union lending in more affected states. This result is consistent across a number of robustness tests.
