Working from home (WFH) can be a challenge as well especially in third world countries due to economic constrains as some people cannot afford gadgets and internet. Women are not spared as well as they are involved in multi-task. Drawing from employee isolation literature, this paper aimed to examine the impact of working from home on female employees during the imposed lockdown. Qualitative research was employed and in-depth interviews with 25 working women from different professions were conducted to gather data. Purposive and convenient sampling was used to select 25 working women from different professions and data was analyzed using MAXQDA software. The research finds out that, women are working overtime due their gender roles as caregiver and the fact that they are mothers, daughters, aunt, sisters, and daughter in-laws they end up involving in multi-task since they are at home, they find it is difficult to convince people that they are working since they will be at home and they cannot ignore visitors during working hours since women are known for their hospitality role in the family hence resulting in mental exhaustion. The study recommended more studies to be carried out on the impact of working from home to assist policy makers on the way forward during Covid 19 era.
In the last several years, the Private universities in Malaysia have undergone a wide range of reconstruction and developed programme that has been increasing organizational stress experienced by academics. This study investigates to recognize and test the influence of organizational indicators of stress on the academic performance. The current research collected questionnaire via many cluster sampling techniques from 32 Malaysian private universities academic staff. Also, 190 completed questionnaires were analysed through SmartPLS software that has delivered the results based on measurement and structural model. Then outcomes show that workload is the first stress organizational indictors that has adverse effect on academic staff work performance. Likewise, ambiguity and conflict in roles are the secondary and thirdly stress indictors that negatively influence the academics' performance in private universities respectively. This study suggests remarkable implications both theoretically and practically to complement the available literature toward the organizational stress indicators in academia context that contribute to academic staff performance. In addition, it enriches current administrators and policy makers of private universities in reducing the negative effects of stress predictors in organization and manage to increase academic staff performance.
