Abstract

Virtual work or working from home was not predominantly an option for all industries before COVID-19, but somehow now it has become a new normal and unprecedented. It has always been an area of exploration, whether there is an association between working from home and employee job satisfaction. Job satisfaction is a relative psychological feeling and understanding of an individual, which could change over the period of times based on different influencing or contributing factors like physical, financial, technological, social, and psychological. In this study, I have tried to explore how these factors are shaping employee job satisfaction. The research adopts a survey approach where self-administered questions were issued to gather the data from the respondents to understand employee satisfaction level and challenges on work from home. The data is collected through both primary and secondary source. In the primary data a questionnaire has been framed and collected from 60 respondents. Books, websites and journals are referred as secondary data. The study was heavily dependent upon the survey data; there were 60 responses collected via online surveys. The study result showed, the majority of employees were satisfied working from home, but some crucial aspects of job satisfaction were also seen, which cannot be ignored
