Abstract

Working from home (WFH) has been implemented at almost all government and private institutions since the Covid-19 virus entered Indonesia. An organization expects an effective WFH which supports employee performance to boost its performance. This research aims to obtain empirical evidence on variables affecting WFH’s effectiveness. Variables predicted to be able to impact the effectiveness are environmental constraints and resource constraints moderated by personal and family well-being. This research uses a quantitative approach to associative models. The population of this research is companies in the technology sector implementing WFH policy for more than 60% of their employees. The data consists of 60 samples collected by sharing the questionnaire online containing questions that had passed the validity and reliability test. The data analysis technique used in this research is Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) using SPSS software 25th version as the tool. The result of this research shows that personal and family well-being has a quasi-moderator role in environmental constraint and resource constraint impact on WFH effectiveness. Environmental constraint significantly impacts WFH effectiveness, while resource constraint does not significantly impact WFH effectiveness. However, after being reinforced by personal and family well-being as moderators, the resource constraint can significantly impact WFH effectiveness. This research can be an empirical evidence for future research and enrich the human resource management study related to the role theory and work-family balance, especially WFH effectiveness, environmental constraint, resource constraint, and personal and family well-being. The management of an organization will be able to consider the strategy based on this research to improve the employee’s effectiveness during WFH to help the management achieve the organization’s goals.
