Abstract [en]

The study is exploratory in nature, and the empirical material isused to explore the effects of the pandemic on the work environments ofmanagers. Results are based on interviews in combination with a selfreported data regarding how the managers allocated their work timed 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 moref focused; 4) meetings became more accessible; 5) the manager became lesso operational; and 6) a new work culture was created.
