Abstract:
"Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the work from home facility has been widely used to
overcome the spread of the disease and to maintain the safety. In Sri Lanka the
unemployment rate has increased from 4.65% to 5.4%, so the work from home facility
which was only used by certain business organizations is being implemented by almost
all the organizations to continue with their business activities. While comparing to other
industries this facility is used more in IT sector as their jobs are motivated and
encouraged through remote working.
However, the Work from home facility can have both negative and positive impact on
job performance as well as employee satisfaction. This study particularly focused on
this, more in detail, by analyzing the impact of work from home on job performance in
IT sector employee’s perspective in Sri Lanka rather than only on executive level, thus
making it more significant."
