ABSTRACT
Contemporary globalization can have only accelerated the process of circulation of the virus
in time and space. This biological risk has turned into a pandemic called COVID-19, which has had
a strong impact on the functioning of companies and even paralyzed the majority of large national
and international companies. Except for a few strategic companies that are operating in a very degraded
mode, the global economy is at its worst level in the decade perceived as the most stressful year in history
by employees around the world. Thus, the health crisis will have entangled the vision of employees’
work and is also pushing companies to reorganize their activities and review the organization of work.
Therefore, to adapt the professional environment to the new health hazards, a clear diagnosis of the main
risks is essential, which is the objective of our work. It is a qualitative study that allows the collection
of information to understand and explain the facts of the managerial techniques in hospital departments
in this pandemic period. The objective of such a survey is to measure the frequency characterizing
the quality of life at work (situations, behaviors, opinions or attitudes, loss of reference points, anxiety
and insecurity, stress and burn-out, etc.) in this pandemic period to develop a strategy and choose
the most appropriate action methods. In the case study, we have chosen the hospital of Tébessa, Algeria.
