A WFH as a new working style creates problems for workers because they have to concentrate on separating work and family interests. Workers will focus more on work in the office so that distractions from family interests are minor.

The quantitative methods were conducted by distributing questionnaires to married employees who have children, have or are currently experiencing WFH (work from home), and work locations in Jakarta. The technique of processing data using the SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) method using the Smart PLS 3.0 tool. The sample was 114 respondents with a significant level used of 5%.
