    Effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on academics’ work-life balance, psychological well-being, turnover intention and productivity
    (Richtmann Publishing, 2023-01-01) Shange, Ellen Mzwakhe; Nyide, Celani John
    Achieving a good work-life balance leads to being an employer of choice as well as attracting the best employees. The same can be said of academia, where having a well-balanced work-life balance can contribute to attracting, developing, and retaining suitably qualified academics. In this study, the aim is to examine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on academics’ work-life balance, psychological well-being, and productivity. The contribution of this study is towards establishing strategies that can be adopted to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on work-life balance, psychological wellbeing, and academic productivity. A quantitative approach was adopted, and the target population consisted of academics from a selected university of technology in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. This study employed the structural equation modelling (SEM) technique, and the data was analysed using AMOS 27 statistical software. The results obtained revealed that the majority of academics still work longer hours than is normally expected. Academics were found to have less time to spend with their families and loved ones than is considered typical in the literature for achieving a healthy work-life balance. There is evidence to show that poor psychological well-being of academics strengthens or moderates the effects of work-life balance on academic productivity, with beta = -0.232† (p < 0.100). Furthermore, the findings revealed that academics felt they did not have control over the reduction of their stress levels caused by the heavy workloads placed on them.

    Career fulfillment was considered a key subjective consideration for a successful career as a metric in assessing the entire career of an employee. Job satisfaction is a representation of a person's income, challenge, or protection values or desires, which may impact the appraisal of the person's achievements in his or her career. The conceptions of justice of multiple workforce growth-linked systems and procedures such as performance evaluations, recruiting decisions, and efforts for mitigation have great consequences for other career-related topics, including critical positions in self-efficacy. A quantitative approach is a methodology used to collect data. A way of calculating the mentality and skills of experience is intended. A study was performed using a questionnaire. The main purpose of a questionnaire is to obtain accurate responses to the survey objectives with the utmost credibility, authenticity, and significance. A questionnaire is often a written list of questions on which respondents report their answers. Questions have been asked in the questionnaire for reading, interpretation, and autonomy of answers. In order to classify the topics into various areas of job satisfaction and performance in their work environment, the respondents were invited to evaluate each object on a 5-point Likert scale of one to five (strongly agree). The hypothesis concerned about perceptions of distributive justice will be positively and directly related to employees’ satisfaction with the performance appraisal. This hypothesis was supported. On average, the higher the distributive justice and performance appraisals satisfaction is in the workplace, the higher the employee satisfaction will be.
