Therefore, there is a compelling need for longitudinal applied research that draws on theories and findings from various scientific fields to identify variables that uniquely predict the well-being and productivity of software professionals during the 2020 quarantine, for both the current and potential future lockdowns. Second, this approach simultaneously allows us to test whether models developed in an organizational context such as the two-factor theory [48] can also predict people's well-being in general and whether variables that were associated with well-being for people being quarantined also explain productivity. ./cache/cord-223560-ppu6idl2.txt ./txt/cord-223560-ppu6idl2.txt
