Análise dos impactos do trabalho remoto dos acadêmicos da engenharia de produção da UTFPR

Abstract

The practice of remote work or home office became popular in Brazil, mainly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many companies have had to adapt the way they perform their tasks and communicate. In this sense, the literature was searched, and six main aspects were proposed to be analyzed in the comparison between face-to-face work and home office: productivity, overwork, balance between personal and professional life, physical and technological conditions, relationship with colleagues of work and quality of life. The study is qualitative and quantitative in nature, addressing the same theme from different perspectives. As for the objectives, it is explanatory, as it explains the occurrence of facts, proposing methods of analysis. And, as for the research method, it is in the field, as it gathers data and information, seeking to understand in a deeper way the origin of the events. From these aspects, a treaty was proposed, effectively answered by a total of 18 people, all UTFPR students and who work or worked at some point in home office. In the analysis of the collected data, the Likert scale was used in an adapted way to numerically measure the responses of the participants. Finally, it was concluded that there are some positive points of working from home: flexible hours, saving time and resources, less stress, better quality of life. There are also negative points: such as a perceived drop in knowledge and difficulty communicating with co-workers.
