The goal of this study is to see how work-from-home affects job performance. It posits work motivation as mediating variables, and investigates how work-from-home affects employee performance via these characteristics. The findings have ramifications for companies looking to assess the efficiency of their work-from-home policy. This is especially true in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. The study's original contribution is its questionnaire, which has been tailored to alterations caused by COVID-19.
Lecturers were given a printed questionnaire to complete as part of the data collection process. The questionnaire, which included a Likert scale, personally distributed to respondents via the officer in charge to 190 lecturers. A total of 165 people took part in the survey. This study employed regression analysis to answer the research questions. Employees who worked from home reported higher levels of motivation, which improved job performance. While the validity of this study is limited to how these benefits are expressed in higher education institution at Kok Lanas, it may have external validity in other COVID-19-affected Public Higher Institution in Malaysia.
