Keywords:
Work From Home, Employee Productivity, Public PolicyAbstract
Work From Home (WFH) policies have become part of the transformation of the work system in the public sector, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to analyze the impact of the WFH policy on the productivity of public sector employees and identify the factors that influence its effectiveness. This study used a quantitative approach. Data was collected from 100 public sector employees who have worked in the WFH system. The results of the regression analysis show that the WFH policy has a positive and significant effect on employee productivity with a t-count value of 9.177 and a significance value of 0.000. The determination test (R² = 0.462) shows that WFH policy explains 46.2% of the variation in employee productivity, while 53.8% is influenced by other factors such as technological infrastructure, leadership, work motivation, and organizational culture. The implication of this study is that government agencies need to develop more adaptive WFH policies, including the implementation of hybrid work models and the strengthening of performance-based work culture. This research also recommends that future studies consider additional variables such as leadership style, job satisfaction, stress levels, and work-life balance to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness of WFH policies in the public sector.
