This study aims to measure the impact of flexible working hours (FWH), remote working (RW), and work life balance (WLB) on employee job satisfaction in the banking industry during the pandemic. In this study, data were collected using quantitative, non-probability, purposive sampling methods via online questionnaires, which were distributed to employees in the banking sector during the pandemic period in Jabodetabek area. With total of 160 respondents who were used to perform analysis using the PLS-SEM method which was carried out with the SMART-PLS software. This study found that in pandemic conditions, achieving WLB conditions will have a positive impact on job satisfaction. The implementation of the RW system itself has a positive impact in helping to achieve the WLB conditions that are felt by banking workers in the Jabodetabek area, in contrast to the FWH system which does not have a similar effect on WLB.

Recent COVID-19 Pandemic has forced many institutions to adopt work from home (WFH) practice whether they’re ready or not. Conditions affecting knowledge worker productivity while adopting new WFH practices become increasingly relevant as compa- nies adapt to the new normal era. This study investigates the direct impact of WFH on productivity and the mediating impact of WFH on productivity through work life balance (WLB) and job satisfaction in the banking industry located in the Greater Jakarta Area. As such, questionnaires were conducted with 234 respondents who have experience of the WFH program due to COVID-19 pandemic and working in the banking industry located in the Greater Jakarta Area. Findings revealed how job satisfaction is a mediating variable between WFH and Productivity, and WFH positively impacts overall productivity. However, contrary to our predictions, results also showed that WFH has a negative impact on WLB. Further research can extend the proposed model of this study by considering adding several variables which might affect productivity in WFH arrangements or implement the already proposed model to other industries.
