Teletrabalho na UFBA em tempos de Pandemia: análise da produtividade e bem-estar dos servidores técnicos administrativos

Abstract

The study addresses the impact of telework on the productivity and well-being of technical administrative staff at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA) during the COVID-19 pandemic, based on the "Final Report on Remote Actions Research - Technicians of the Distance Education Superintendence (SEAD) 2020." The research was conducted to understand how telework influenced the productivity and well-being of staff, using literature review and documentary analysis of the report. A total of 3,078 technicians were invited to participate in the study, of which 699 responded to the questionnaire. The results indicate that there was a slight increase or maintenance of the workload for the majority of the technicians. Despite the reported technological difficulties, many staff members considered their equipment adequate for remote work. The research concludes that telework brought both challenges and opportunities for new work methodologies, highlighting the need to improve institutional policies to maximize benefits and minimize the challenges faced by technical administrative staff.
