| Abstract | Pandemija korona virusa utjecala je na mnoge promjene u poslovanju, od logističkih i organizacijskih pa do kulturnih. Potreba za promjenom mjesta rada od ureda iz tvrtke do rada od kuće za mnoge radnike predstavlja izazov. Rad od kuće ima mnoge prednosti ali i nedostatke za zaposlenike. Prednosti rada od kuće očituju se u fleksibilnosti, uštedi goriva, uštedi vremena putovanja do i od posla, manjim stresom, boljim životnim balansom, povećanoj produktivnosti, razvijanju novih tehničkih vještina te razvijanje komunikacijskih vještina. Nedostaci mogu biti veća ometanja tijekom rada, povećana izolacija, socijalna odvojenost, troškovi kućnog ureda, mogući prekovremeni rad, manjak samodiscipline, tehnička ne pripremljenost (neznanje, nemogućnost opreme i sl.) te neusklađenost privatnog i poslovnog života. Primarno istraživanje pokazalo je da većina ispitanika smatra da im je više vremena potrebno kako bi obavili određeni posao ako rade od kuće. To ne ide u prilog istraživanjima koja pokazuju veću produktivnost radnika od kuće u drugim dijelovima svijeta i Europe. Svakako, tu se može osvrnuti na tehničke poteškoće, smetnje, neadekvatno radno okruženje, i slično. Mnogi zaposlenici nikad prije nisu radili od kuće te možda nemaju najbolje mogućnost za obavljanje istog, nisu navikli na nove načine komunikacije, itd, te su zato sporiji u svom radu. Moguće je i da nemaju pristup svojim materijalima potrebnim za posao te radno mjesto nije onako namješteno kako su navikli. Tome u prilog ide i rezultat da većini radnika poslodavac ne osigurava sve što im je potrebno za rad od kuće, tako da to dovodi do nedostataka u radu. Predanost poslu također je manja kada rade od kuće, a tu se može povući poveznica s time da je radno okuženje kod kuće loše i da je teško odvojiti privatno od poslovnog. Mnogi socijalni, ekonomski, organizacijski, kulturni i drugi čimbenici utječu na to kako se zaposlenici nose s radom od kuće. Kako je svega mali postotak zaposlenika prije pandemije radio od kuće, možemo zaključiti kako Republika Hrvatska nije bila baš najspremnija na rad od kuće. S obzirom na sve prednosti rada od kuće, potrebno je raditi na sustavnim politikama na razini države i poduzeća kako bi se razvila bolja kultura rada od kuće. |
| Abstract (english) | The corona virus pandemic affected many changes in business, from logistical and organizational to cultural. The need to change the place of work from an office in a company to working from many homes is a challenge for workers. Working from home has many advantages and disadvantages for employees. The advantages of working from home are manifested in flexibility, saving fuel, saving travel time to and from work, less stress, better life balance, increased productivity, developing new technical skills and developing communication skills. Disadvantages can be greater distractions during work, increased isolation, social isolation, home office costs, possible overtime, less self-discipline, technical unpreparedness (ignorance, inability to use equipment, etc.) and mismatch between private and business life. The primary survey showed that the majority feel that they need more time to complete a certain job if the respondents work from home. This does not support research that shows higher productivity of home workers in other parts of the world and Europe. Certainly, there can be referred to technical difficulties, disturbances, inadequate working environment, and the like. Many employees have never worked from home before and may not have the best opportunity to do so, are not used to new ways of communication, etc., and are therefore slower in their work. It is also possible that they do not have access to their materials necessary for work and the workplace is not furnished as they are used to. This is supported by the result that the employer of most workers does not provide everything they need to work from home, so this leads to deficiencies in work. Commitment to work is also lower when they work from home, and this can be linked to the time when the work environment at home is bad and it is difficult to separate private from business. Many social, economic, organizational, cultural and other factors influence how employees cope with working from home. As an increasingly small percentage of employees worked from home before the pandemic, we can conclude that the Republic of Croatia was not the most ready to work from home. Considering all the advantages of working from home, it is necessary to work on systematic policies at the level of the state and companies in order to develop a better culture of working from home. |
