What is it about?

In this paper, our objective is to identify what specific organisational elements of state administration authorities were most impacted in Czechia by the new law adopted as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. To achieve this goal, we conducted a systematic review and the qualitative analysis of legal regulations adopted in the period from March 2020 to October 31 2021, using the PRISMA methodology.

Why is it important?

Our findings show that the elements “People” and “Processes” were particularly impacted by the national legal documents. Contrary to our expectations, the element “Technology” was the least affected, although the level of digitalisation in 2020 and 2021 was below the EU average. This is probably why changes relied on people and their working from home and existing processes, which were relaxed based on the legal changes.

Perspectives

Writing this article was a great pleasure as it was co-authored with whom I have had long-standing collaborations. In addition, I gained personal contacts with people from various state organisations holding different job positions.
