Abstract:

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP), limiting face-to-face interaction is one of the best strategies for reducing the spread of COVID-19. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has driven the demand for workgroup application solutions to reduce the risk of cross-infection caused by close contact. This study explores the effects of workgroup negative functions (WNF) on work well-being (WWB) through job stress (JST) from the perspective of the mobile community. The data of participants from different workgroups were collected during the COVID-19 outbreak. The results showed that (1) the workgroup negative functions (WNF) positively affects the job stress (JST); (2) the job stress (JST) negatively affects the work well-being (WWB); (3) the workgroup negative functions (WNF) directly has no significant effects on the work well-being (WWB).
