In the dynamics of the contemporary social-economic environment stands out the significant technological progress stands out – this is the reason the concept of energy security comes with a new, wider signification. Most of the authors analysing the energy security issues reveal many different aspects of the concept, countering competitive conceptions. There is a lack of oneness regarding the theoretic frame or the energy security concept’s components – thus the question of the variety of points of view is really typical for social sciences and it doesn’t have to be accepted in a negative way. However, and perhaps contrary to the definition of wealth, the experts on the field of energy policy always underline the need and the urgency of starting to conceptualise energy security. The aim of this paper is to review the energy security concept in the context of contemporary trends and issues in the development of the energy sector based on review of the scientific literature.

Stay-at-home recommendations and restrictions during the global COVID-19 pandemic are creating unprecedented challenges for employees whose work has been transferred to a home environment.

Therefore, a targeted key review of PubMed/Medline and Google scholar was conducted to better understand the broad dimensions related to the health, well-being and workplace of remote workers. The review was focused on employees specializing in office and administrative activities who worked remotely during each of the lockdown waves from March 2020 to 2021.
