Self-Efficacy, Job Satisfaction, And the Mental Health of Work-From-Home Employees: A Mixed Method Approach
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 22, Issue 1
Abstract
The study investigates various aspects of the work-from-home experience, combining quantitative and qualitative methodologies to provide a comprehensive understanding. The quantitative phase reveals that work-from-home employees exhibit high levels of self-efficacy, above-average levels of job satisfaction, and above-average mental health. There is a very low correlation between self-efficacy and mental health (r=.24), and the relationship is significant (p= .005) However, there is a very low correlation between self-efficacy and mental health (r=-.12), and the relationship is not significant (p= .164). In the qualitative phase, the lived experience of work-from-home employees is explored, highlighting the adaptability of their work environment, time efficiency, and the value of effective management. Challenges include social isolation and technical issues. Coping mechanisms involve breathing techniques, mindfulness, and social engagement. The integration of quantitative and qualitative data suggests actionable strategies, including training webinars on technical issue optimization, promoting open communication between employees and supervisors, and implementing stress management programs. The study's findings contribute to understanding the complexities of the work-from-home experience and offer practical recommendations for enhancing the well-being and effectiveness of work-from-home employees.
