Globalization, Work Culture, Study, Covid-19Abstract [English]
The entire globe is facing significant challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has disrupted global economic connections and halted work cultures everywhere. With a population of 17.7% of the world's total, India is a developing middle- to lower-income nation that comes in second only to China. Nearly everyone in the nation has had to cope with the financial, social, and emotional consequences of this pandemic. As our Hon. Prime Minister calls for “ATMANIRBHAR BHARAT”, in this study an effort is made to analyse the impact on globalization and work culture in offices caused due to COVID-19 pandemic. Through this study we found that people have shifted towards Indian goods and services, and the government has banned a number of international trades and services, indicating that globalisation has had an impact due to the pandemic. Office work cultures have changed to allow employees to work from home, but it has also drawn criticism. Whether it is feasible or not will depend entirely on the type of organisation or industry. In this study an electronic questionnaire that displays responses to the research objectives were floated via Google form. Primary and secondary sources were used as the method of data collecting.
