Gendered Stereotypes on Working From Home (WFH) before and after the Pandemic

Working from home (WFH) has received a lot of attention due to the Covid-19-related lockdown phases. Questions about the impact of WFH on careers and possible effects on women have not yet been sufficiently investigated. The results of the systematic literature review show, that the career prospects of employees who work from home depend on stereotypes and related stigmas within the working environment, which particularly affect women. Based on the results, a phase model of structural and cultural change for organizations with implications for women’s career prospects is developed.
