Abstract:
The rapid adoption of remote work has significantly transformed modern organizational practices, enabling employees to perform their tasks outside traditional office environments. This study examines the impact of work-from-home (WFH) practices on employee performance by focusing on key factors such as productivity, efficiency, work–life balance, and communication. The research adopts a descriptive research design with a quantitative approach. Primary data were collected from 107 respondents using a structured questionnaire. Statistical techniques, including mean, standard deviation, correlation, and regression analysis, were applied to examine the relationships between work-from-home factors and employee performance. The findings reveal that work-from-home arrangements positively influence employee performance. Among the factors studied, work–life balance and productivity show the strongest impact, indicating that remote work allows employees to manage their personal and professional responsibilities while maintaining performance levels. Efficiency also contributes positively to employee outcomes, while communication remains a relatively weaker factor due to challenges associated with virtual interactions. The study highlights the importance of organizational support, digital infrastructure, and effective communication systems in ensuring successful remote work. These findings provide valuable insights for organizations seeking to design effective remote work policies that enhance employee productivity and well-being
