In many different companies, the option of working from home has always been available, enabling employees to go on with their regular tasks from home. Employees working from home have significantly increased in light of the COVID-19 scenario, keeping the pandemic's safety standards and health criteria. To avoid any degradation in their individual job performance, many working cadres have taken to working from home seriously. Managers now have immediate access to information on the advantages and challenges of working from home. Numerous studies have been done on telecommuting and work performance separately; nevertheless, there is very little evidence to support a meaningful link between the two. The purpose of this study is to ascertain whether working from home affects public higher institution employees' ability to do their jobs. To ascertain their justification for working from home, 66 academicians from Peninsular Malaysia's suburbs were surveyed. The instrument used is a survey. The findings indicate that the relationship between job performance as the dependent variable and working from home as the independent variable cannot be explained by work motivation.
