Abstract
On 18 March 2020, the Malaysian government declared the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO) throughout the country in an effort to curb the Covid-19 pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic has become a global health issue as it has had a guge impact on the changing of the way people live. This led to the introduction of the Work From Home (WFH) policy, a policy implementation that has had impacted on the well-being of families in this country, especially in Sabah and Sarawak. Having said that, however, it is unclear how far the policy implementation actually has determined the well-being of families in Sabah and Sarawak. Accordingly, a study was conducted to understand the impacts of WFH policy on the well-being of families in Sabah and Sarawak through the application of mixed-method approach as the data were obtained using survey questionnaires, secondary sources and interviews with focus groups. The data affirm that the WFH policy implementation has had a significant impact on the well-being of families in Sabah and Sarawak. This suggests that the WFH policy is among the key determinant factors in the well-being of families. Therefore, further evaluation the the best mechanism pertaining to the implementation WFH policy is needed as a means of ensuring the introduction of similar policies in the future will not affect on the family well-being negatively.
