The consequences of the pandemic have been immense and felt across society, industries, and organisations; however, little is known about the pandemic’s impact on staff in UK higher education (HE).
A research project funded internally by The Open University (OU) explored how the pandemic impacted academic and professional staff in higher education throughout the UK. There were nearly 300 respondents to an online survey in 2022.
Senior Lecturer in Accounting and Financial Management Dr Rasha Kassem led the pan-University research team, supported by her Business School colleague Dr Shraddha Verma and OU colleagues Dr Kerry Jones and Dr Soraya Kouadri and Ruth Whitney from the OU in Scotland.
