Work-life Balance among Work from Home Employees: A Study with Reference to it Companies of Mangalore City

Abstract

The issue of how to combine work and personal obligations has received more attention in recent years in scholarly and political debates. One programme that has been marketed as a technique to enhance work-life balance is homeworking. This essay looks at the experience of working from home, where a lot of personal tension is typically passed from one partner to the next. The family may experience significant tension and stress when both members work to advance their careers. Couples with kids or other family duties may find this situation to be much more challenging. Since there are more jobs that need computers and telecommunications, more individuals have dependable home Internet connections, and more families have both parents working full-time, the number of people working from home (WFH) has increased. The Covid-19 outbreak hastened this development by compelling a sizable portion of the world's workforce to temporarily convert to WFH. Working from home (WFH) has the ability to promote work-life balance, give more flexible working hours, and cut down on commute time as compared to working from the office (WFO). The more fundamental effects of WFH, such as those on productivity and the elements that influence whether WFH is more or less productive than WFO, are still little understood.
