Critical evaluation of the productivity during the work from home and its impact on software professionals

Abstract

The evolution of computer and networking technologies has facilitated remote work, and the accessibility of information technology solutions has become crucial for business continuity. With the aid of information technology, employees can exchange and receive textual, aural, and visual information, leading to improved internal and external communication and successful task execution. It is of utmost importance, particularly during pandemics, for information technology professionals to be efficient in their work for the benefit of everyone. This study aims to assess the impact of working from home on the productivity of software professionals. Additionally, it aims to identify factors that influence productivity within this context. The study focuses primarily on the productivity of software professionals in the working-from-home paradigm. Data will be collected through a questionnaire survey, and hypothesis testing will be conducted to evaluate the formulated hypotheses. The findings of this study reveal a significant and positive effect of team management, work-life balance, training, and workload management on the productivity of the work-from-home concept.
