Many people's lives and daily routines have changed as a result of the ongoing pandemic. Some people have experienced terrible changes, while others have found benefits despite this unpleasant situation.
In order to comprehend what occurred, how it proceeded and is still proceeding, as well as how the system may be improved, the approach utilized in this thesis is the qualitative method of research.
The goal of this study is to examine and explain throughout this research how these changes came about and developed over the past two years. Employees will be asked to clarify their positions on how they have found the interaction with individuals who work in human resources and how this has influenced their wellbeing as part of this qualitative research project to address the main question of this thesis.
Based on the central idea of this research, the author of this thesis chose to examine a few principles from Hofstede's theory in order to compare Italy and Finland, notably in the area of power distance uncertainty avoidance, long-term orientation, and individualism.
Geert Hofstede was a Dutch-born management researcher. He created this theory in 1980 to pinpoint the features of each civilization.
His idea focuses on understanding the differences between those cultures in order to grasp and comprehend how business is conducted in multiple cultures across many different countries. It essentially emphases on differentiating between various beliefs, traits, and the effects on business life.
Furthermore, the workforce during the pandemic in Finland and Italy will be compared, as well as how various governments and businesses have chosen to handle employees' performance during these difficult and perplexing times.
The purpose of this study, according to the author, is to determine how a global pandemic can alter employees' work lives. Hoping that the readers will be able to appreciate the significance of this issue and take some time to consider their own opinions about it for the future.
