The psychosocial work environment when working from home : An account of the regulation, and what experiences male and female workers can have during Covid-19. (English)
Abstract [en]

Since the coronavirus occurred, the number of people working from home has increased by almost 400%, which may cause some confusion. The purpose of this essay is to describe the legal situation regarding the psychosocial work environment when working from home and gain an insight into how male and female workers experience the psychosocial work environment when working from home during Covid-19. The purpose is further to apply a gender perspective by analysing the differences between male and female experiences. In order to fulfil the purpose, a legal dogmatic method has been used, and the sociology of law by collecting data using surveys and interviews. The regulation regarding the psychosocial work environment when working from home is found in EU law and in the Work Environment Act (1977:1160), which in turn is supplemented by the Swedish Work Environment Authority’s regulations. According to the Work Environment Act, the employer must take necessary measures to prevent accidents or ill health of workers. By analysing the data collected from the surveys and interviews, it can be concluded that there are differences between male and female experiences. A significant difference arises, for example, in the issue of workload, where women experience a higher workload than men, both at the office and when working from home. A possible reason for this difference may be that women have a higher total workload as they have more responsibility in the home environment. In general, there seem to be quite positive experiences of working from home, among both men and women, as the workload and stress decrease.
