Work From Home and Its Influence on Employee Job Satisfaction: An Empirical Study

The increasing adoption of Work from Home (WFH) arrangements has significantly transformed the traditional work environment, particularly in knowledge-driven sectors. This empirical study examines the influence of Work from Home on employee job satisfaction, focusing on key dimensions such as work–life balance, job autonomy, productivity, communication, and overall well-being. Data were collected from employees working under WFH arrangements using a structured questionnaire, and the responses were analyses employing appropriate statistical techniques. The findings reveal that Work from Home has a significant and positive impact on employee job satisfaction by offering greater flexibility, reduced commuting stress, and improved work–life balance. However, the study also highlights certain challenges, including social isolation, communication gaps, and difficulties in maintaining work boundaries, which may negatively affect satisfaction levels if not effectively managed. The study concludes that while Work from Home enhances job satisfaction, organizations must adopt supportive HR policies, robust digital infrastructure, and employee engagement practices to sustain long-term satisfaction and performance in remote work settings.
