COVID$-19$ cases progressively climbed in March $2020$ untll a religlous gathering occurred in Sri Malaysia significantly increased.

It includes the higher educatlon Industry, altering their working system, and University T was one of them.

Working from home entails continuing to function while maintalning the same productivity or effectiveness throughout the pandemic, which may result in a drop in output, according to Nicholas Bloom $($Gorlick$,2020).$ All Malaysian employees must learn to operate online or work from home because they are limited to their homes. The limitations of remote work during the lockdown periods for university staff members necessitate unit leaders to evaluate overall job fulfillment and productivity levels. To summarize, residents' movements were restricted to their respective homes,similar to the majority of the government's decision to impose lockdowns to contain the COVID$-19$epidemic. In any case, the lockdown has forced all workers at University T to telecommute; some have decided to stay at home, while others have returned to their villages in the rural area. Following the pandemic lockdown, employees were asked if they should continue working virtually. There had been a boom in interest in work$-$from$-$home options before the shutdown $($Baker$,$ Avery, & Craword,$2007).$This study investigates the viability of maintaining remote work attempts through the satisfaction of quality work and the enjoyment of working from home.

Case Scenario

It is a well$-$known government university in Malaysia. University T is a branch of a local government university that serves as an alma mater for thousands of students across the country. The administrative staff is critical to the university's long$-$term viability for the benefit of both students and the university itself. University T has been closed due to a government policy to prevent the virus from spreading. Without a choice, telecommuting is the students' and faculty's last resort for survival.All students and employees are allowed to carry on their jobs and tasks while communicating only through teleworking. Online working and learning are increasingly becoming the standard. However,this new system is still in its early stages. A dramatic change in a short period is a shock to the system,especially for the staff. Most of the time, people take a longer time to adjust to the new system. Thus,work performance and the employee's satisfaction with the system become interesting topics to learn about and argue about.

According to the findings, many administrative employees at University T prefer to work from home.The result favoured the system's positive output. The employee satisfaction data analysis was extracted from the survey, as shown in Fig. $1,$ where $87\mathrm{.}1\%$ are content with teleworking, but $12\mathrm{.}9\%$are not. In comparison to the other group that did not favour working from home, this is a large proportion of persons who are satisfied with their jobs while working remotely. The top reasons for wanting to work online were family and personal issues. Other variables influencing the desire to work from home are $(1)$ commute time, $(2)$ expenses, $(3)$ comfort at home,$(4)$ work$-$life balance; and $(5)$less direct communication.$$

As a result, we may conclude that the majority of University T respondents prefer to work remotely,with commuting time being the most popular reason. Working remotely reduces time spent on the road, which is especially beneficial for individuals who reside a distance away from he business.Given this, it's not shocking that individuals who live farthest away from the workplace wish to telecommute far more frequently in the future. Respondents might spend less time getting ready to work since they already have a working place at home. Teleworking has led many to begin work earlier to complete tasks during their usual travel hour. However, the amount of time spent completing their job during regular office hours has generally declined and is now devoted to activities that are not related to work.

Employees appreciate the time, money, and convenience savings that come from not commuting. The time saved by not having to commute for hours every day, mobility, and leisure now gives them a significantly greater amount of spare time. The majority of participants from University T are between the ages of $30$ and $39,$ which is classified as a millennium. As more individuals become interested in work$-$life balance, some are using this chance to reset their perspective on work and how to balance their lives for life fulfilment. Employees acquired extra time to be alone or with a beloved one.Another commonly
