Tackling technology and social ties: the stressful implications of organizational videoconferencing on employees during COVID-19 by Malviya, Shruti

“…However, extensive use of videoconferencing led to repercussions among remote working employees such as technostress, both in terms of the stress experienced from the technology of videoconferencing as well as from the employees’ estranged relationships such as family, roommates, friends, and colleagues and managers. There has been a gap in the research on stress, strain, and coping from videoconferencing in an organizational context, especially among employees of different hierarchies, and its repercussions from a socio-relational perspective. …”

Digital keywords for China: perceptions and portrayals in English-language novels by Matthews, Graham, Cheung, Cally Hiu Tung

“…As China emerges as a potential global superpower, it is more important than ever to recognise and analyse the ways in which the country has been represented in literature and culture. English-language novels frequently include passing reference to China but these instances are usually too minor to contribute to the major themes of the novel and pass without comment in traditional forms of literary scholarship. …”
