A survey of the owners of MSMEs revealed that about 85% during the pandemic faced manipulation by key professional employees – the threat of dismissal. Labor intensity and intensification began to play a key role in employee motivation. During a pandemic, the main business strategy of MSMEs becomes a survival strategy.
