With global Pandemic Covid 19, many production organisations today are facing a new challenge of keeping the business afloat. With the recent government guidelines as well failing demand, many of the small as well as medium production units have temporarily shut down their factories but then there are production units which have seen a significant increase in demand for essential supplies. The front line production workers in the production unit cannot carry their work to the relative safety of their homes. So the critical focus for every such organisation is to keep their workforces specially the front line production workers safe. But for the other sub - divisions the organisations in order to minimise the risk have allowed remote working facilities for their workforces.

With this, attempt had been made to understand the perception of workforce’s particularly working in production unit about the factors that will influence the different aspects of work from home.A questionnaire containing different factors affecting the work from home perception of the workforces is designed and distributed. Data is collected from 71 white collar respondents (Male 63 and 8 Female workforces). Analysing the data, it was found that professional isolation, perceived job performance with virtual work; independent working and perceived organisational support are the major factors that contribute to the perceptions of work from home workforces.

Abstract


With global Pandemic Covid 19, many production organisations today are facing a new challenge of keeping the business afloat. With the recent government guidelines as well failing demand, many of the small as well as medium production units have temporarily shut down their factories but then there are production units which have seen a significant increase in demand for essential supplies. The front line production workers in the production unit cannot carry their work to the relative safety of their homes. So the critical focus for every such organisation is to keep their workforces specially the front line production workers safe. But for the other sub - divisions the organisations in order to minimise the risk have allowed remote working facilities for their workforces.

With this, attempt had been made to understand the perception of workforce’s particularly working in production unit about the factors that will influence the different aspects of work from home.A questionnaire containing different factors affecting the work from home perception of the workforces is designed and distributed. Data is collected from 71 white collar respondents (Male 63 and 8 Female workforces). Analysing the data, it was found that professional isolation, perceived job performance with virtual work; independent working and perceived organisational support are the major factors that contribute to the perceptions of work from home workforces.
