A study on Work from Home and Work-Life Balance: Perceived Organisational Support and Resilience

Abstract

Amidst the Global COVID-19 Pandemic, most personnel had to work remotely because of the successive lockdowns imposed. This restriction posed significant challenges for several individuals and enterprises about working conditions and maintaining a work-life balance. Remote work poses several difficulties and challenges for individuals and companies. Businesses are exploring options for offering remote coaching, while employees are encountering difficulties in balancing personal and work life and adapting to remote work and teamwork. The current study examines the effect of remote work in IT sector on the work-life balance of people because of its significant importance. There is a scarcity of studies that specifically examine IT sector professionals, who constitute the work-from-home primary group. This article seeks to examine the correlation between, “individual resilience (IR), perceived organizational support (POS) and work-life balance (WLB)”. This paper aims to address a research void by examining the influence of remote work on IT personnel using empirical research. This study intends to enhance understanding of the feasibility and longevity of the work-from-home approach in IT organizations.
