When high work engagement is negative for family tasks: mechanisms and boundary conditions.

Long-term effects of COVID-19 on work routines and organizational culture - A case study within higher education's administration.

As a sudden, external event, the COVID-19 pandemic rapidly disrupted the workplace and required organizations to digitalize their working approaches.

We applied a longitudinal case study and conducted interviews with 39 German higher education institution (HEI) employees at two time points during the first (2020) and second (2021) lockdown.
