Abstract [en]

The study is exploratory in nature, and the empirical material is used to explore the effects of the pandemic on the work environments of managers. Results are based on interviews in combination with a self-reported data regarding how the managers allocated their work time during a work week. The results are then summarized into six hypotheses for how the pandemic affected the work of managers: 1) the workday was densified due to remote meetings; 2) "double work" during meetings became the rule, rather than the exception; 3) meetings became more focused; 4) meetings became more accessible; 5) the manager became less operational; and 6) a new work culture was created.
