Abstract

In the contemporaries of the Coronavirus Pandemic, the working from home was adopted as a health prevention measure. This article aims to analyze the ergonomic, emotional, and psychological aspects arising from this new way of working with professors of the Production Engineering Department of the Federal University of Amazonas - UFAM. The study is descriptive and was elaborated by literature review, and data survey through online interviews. The participants answered a questionnaire in which it was verified the points that directly interfere in the quality of life and performance of the professors in their professional activities. According to the results obtained, it was found that the reality faced by the workers is divergent from the standards established by ergonomic norms. It was also observed that the sharing of personal and professional life caused worries, stress, and anxiety, impacting on the educators' emotional health. Finally, we recommended possible solutions to mitigate the negative effects of this new way of working.
