The study shows how working from home has changed people’s work habits, particularly in their interactions with friends and family. To evaluate the data, the study used T-tests, ANOVA, and exploratory factor analysis. The findings show that most IT workers prefer to keep working remotely after the pandemic. They find remote work more convenient and beneficial for achieving a better work-life balance.
