Organisation Design and the Role of ICT: Negative Effects of Working From Home During the Coronavirus Pandemic

Summary/Abstract: The goal of the paper is to point to the role and importance of organisation design as a tool for strategy implementation, together with a dominant role of technology in shaping the design. Namely, the development of modern information and communication tech-nology (ICT) is accompanied by the creation of new organisational forms, which enable the management and employees to carry out a significant portion of work from home. The central focus of this paper is the impact of technology on the creation of new forms of design, with a virtual organisation taking up a particularly prominent position. We underline the fact that among many changes that the coronavirus pandemic has produced in everyday life, working from home can be considered as the most drastic one; hence, its harmful effects are underscored, such as those relating to negative psychological effects, anxiety disorders, health issues, job loss, decreased efficiency and reduced satisfaction of the employees.
