Summary
Employees
Area of Science:
- Business and Management
- Psychology
Background:
- Remote work research is limited post-pandemic.
- Understanding employee technology interaction is crucial for functional work-from-home.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify factors influencing job performance in remote work settings.
- To examine the impact of ICT anxiety and smartphone addiction on work progress.
Main Methods:
- Utilized Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM).
- Analyzed data from 363 employees working remotely due to COVID-19.
- Applied the Job Demands-Resources theory framework.
Main Results:
- Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) anxiety negatively impacts work progress.
- Smartphone addiction leads to distractions, reducing work efficiency.
- Both factors inhibit the efficient achievement of work goals.
Conclusions:
- Employee reluctance with ICT and smartphone dependency are significant barriers to remote work performance.
- Organizations should provide support and tools for seamless remote work transitions.
- Strategies are needed to mitigate technology-related distractions for improved productivity.

01:20Virtual Work
987
The principle of virtual work states that if a body is in static and dynamic equilibrium, then the sum of all the virtual work done by all external forces and couple moments for any given virtual displacement must be zero.
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...

01:24Factors Affecting Workability
155
The workability of concrete is a critical characteristic that influences the ease of mixing, handling, and finishing the concrete. It is affected by several factors including water content, aggregate properties, and admixtures like air entrainment. Water plays a fundamental role as it lubricates the concrete mix, facilitating easier movement and placement. However, the water requirement varies depending on the texture and shape of aggregates. Finer particles and angular, rough-textured...

01:37Social Loafing

Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

01:04Social Facilitation
33.7K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

01:13Principle of Virtual Work: Problem Solving
1.3K
The principle of virtual work is an essential concept in the field of mechanics and engineering. This is used to solve problems related to the equilibrium of a structure or system. It is based on the assumption that if a system is in equilibrium, the work done by all the forces during a virtual displacement is zero. This principle is applied by considering virtual displacements of the system and the corresponding work done by internal and external forces.

As a system undergoes a change, its internal energy can change, and energy can be transferred from the system to the surroundings, or from the surroundings to the system.
