Working from home has become the new normal during the Covid-19 pandemic, and have prompted a renewed focus on the impact of working from home on employee motivation, work-life balance and employee engagement. At the organizational level questions are raised about the effects on profitability, organizational resilience and the ability of organizations to remain innovative. How can employees be managed in terms of mentoring, role modelling and also how can they be monitored for purposes of appraisal reviews? Organizations will need to be redesigned, and organizational resources redeployed, to enhance profitability, efficiency and innovation. There are adverse implications on employee motivation, and potential conflicts between work and home life, which may impact both well-being and also productivity. While organizational boundary is one such theoretical frame, other frames that can be drawn upon include the resource-based view, institutional logics and transaction-cost-economics, and the use of technology and its impact on human resource management. In Work from Home, researchers from around the world answer these questions, while making a seminal contribution to the field of HRM from a work-from-home perspective.
