An Empirical Study on Challenges of Working From Home During COVID-19 on Work-Life Domains in the Education Sector in Bengaluru

Abstract

The chapter looks at the challenges faced by academicians at the time of COVID-19. Additionally, it examines how Bengaluru academicians reconcile work and life, as well as how this pandemic condition has affected teaching performance. Academicians are not only being challenged with teaching methodology due to the pandemic but are forced to create and innovate new ideas of teaching-learning implemented by the New Education Policy. The chapter ends with the findings on the effectiveness of WFH, quality of communication, and return to work. It concludes that although WFH created great difficulty in social interaction, which forced them to return to work, but has increased the productivity of educators in this changing phase and developed a new learning dimension in the higher education industry, even though this domain of working is feasible for several business organizations and the years to come. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many people to work from home.
