Abstract
This study looks at how working from home affects people's physical and mental health and how productive they are in their new settings. This study used an explanatory research method and both primary and secondary sources of data to look into the topic of working from home in great detail. The research method used in this study is abductive, which blends theory ideas with real world data to give a complete picture of the subject. Scholars surveyed 30 people who do most or all of their work from home to find out what they thought about the pros, cons, and general feel of working from home. Visualising the survey data in the form of graphs allow to fully explore patterns and trends in the people who answered the questions. The results of theme analysis are also put together from secondary sources such as trustworthy websites, papers, and peer reviewed books. This method adds theoretical views and background knowledge to the study to make it stronger.
Two important parts of doing research in an ethical way are getting full consent from survey subjects and using correct citations to show appreciation for earlier researchers' work. The rights and privacy of people are protected by ethical rules like openness, privacy, and respect. There are some good things about working from home, like being able to set own hours and not having to worry about getting to and from work. But there are also some bad things about it, like having to work alone, having trouble speaking, and having personal and professional lives mix. There are many factors that affect how well working from home goes, such as the level of social support, the company's structure, and the ease of access to technology. Along with what is already known, this study looks at a lot of facts from the real world and academic points of view. It is very important to deal with problems before they happen in order to make the good things about working from home even better. It talks about how important it is to spend money on technology tools, improve communication, and make group rules stronger.
