Abstract
The research is based on primary data collected from 50 respondents through a structured questionnaire using a Likert scale. The study follows a descriptive and analytical research design. Statistical tools such as percentage analysis, tabulation, graphical representation, and correlation analysis have been used to interpret the collected data. The findings of the study indicate that work-from-home offers several benefits such as flexible working hours, reduced commuting time, and improved work-life balance, which positively contribute to employee productivity. However, the study also highlights challenges such as household distractions, communication gaps, lack of proper workspace, and limited interaction with team members that may negatively affect employee performance. The correlation analysis shows a moderate positive relationship between work-from-home and employee productivity. The study concludes that work-from-home can be an effective working model when supported by proper communication systems, organizational support, technological resources, and employee discipline. It further suggests that a balanced hybrid work model can help organizations achieve improved productivity and employee satisfaction.
