Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the impact of COVID-19 regulations on the self-efficacy, locus of control, and wellness of tax consultant office employees. Interpretive qualitative research was conducted, with key informants including tax consultant office employees, behavioral accounting experts, and psychologists. Data analysis was performed throughout the study. Results showed that COVID-19 disrupted the self-efficacy of tax consultant office employees, as their clients’ activities were affected. However, employees still had control over their locus of control, with a belief that the pandemic would end. Despite the disruptions, employees reported feeling happy, as they were able to communicate with office friends and family, especially with Work From Home policies allowing them to spend more time with their families while still being able to work. The implication of this study suggests that while COVID-19 regulations may impact some aspects of employee well-being, organizations should consider ways to maintain employee communication and well-being, even when work is being performed remotely.
