Psychologické aspekty práce z domova u mladých profesionálů

The diploma thesis deals with the issue of psychological aspects of working from home among the target group of young professionals. It focuses on their perception and experience of the transition to the home-office, also in the connection with the Covid-19 pandemic. In the theoretical part, the basic concepts related to the given topic are characterized. The theoretical part is followed by the practical part, which takes the form of qualitative research. The research question of the thesis is following: What are the basic psychological aspects of the transition from office work to home-office among the group of young professionals, also students and recent graduates? The methodology is based on qualitative research. For data collection were used in-depth interviews, which were conducted with a sample of ten respondents. They were selected based on an online questionnaire. The data was then evaluated using the IPA method and MAXQDA software. The main goal of the thesis is to describe in detail the basic psychological aspects of the transition to home-office among the target group and to analyse their perception and experience of this difficult situation. The conclusion of this paper could further serve as practical knowledge for employers on how to focus on, or what to avoid. The research I conducted showed, at least in the short term, that the deterioration of the psychological aspects among the selected target group was mainly caused by the entire situation associated with the Covid-19 pandemic and government restrictions. Working from home is otherwise perceived very positively among the young professionals, mainly due to higher trust and less control from supervisors, or the possibility of own time management. The flexibility at work seems especially suitable for them in their stage of life, i.e. at the end of school.
