A study on work-life balance in the era of work from home with reference to understanding the change in perceived job satisfaction through statistical analysis
Working from anywhere or Working from Home has been prevalent in many developed countries, specifically in the IT sector. Still, the pandemic brought in the wave for such concepts in India, and the people here were not ready for it socially and culturally. As it was an unforeseen and forced situation here in the country, its adaptability raised several questions and issues in the minds of employers and employees. With the shift happening in work culture, which is, working from home due to the pandemic, many changes have crept into the employees’ minds. One such notable arena, which should be addressed for better human resources management and efficiency, is perceived job satisfaction and understanding the employees’ work-life balance amidst these changes. In the study, 90 employees from selected IT companies at various levels are under consideration to understand their perseverance of job satisfaction and work-life balance in and before the change. The stability and the effects of the different attributes on the subject are studied. Statistical tools like Multiple Regression Analysis, Pearson Correlation, and Z-test are used.
