| dc.description.abstract | Working from home arrangement; as defined by Bossart (2017), is an arrangement in which an employee works from home or some other non-office locations. Although it is commonly used in most developed countries, this arrangement was commonly used in non-developing and developing countries like Ethiopia before the Covid-19 pandemic. Since this pandemic is highly affecting the world economy and is changing the work culture dramatically, most countries; including Ethiopia, are now using working from home arrangement as one solution to keep the gear going. Given the fact that working from home arrangement is a new system to Ethiopia, this study aimed at looking to what working from home has been like during Covid-19. To achieve this purpose, a descriptive study design was used to analyse the data collected through close-ended questionnaires from the sample of eighty AGP Poultry head office employees. These respondents were selected using convenience sampling considering availability of data. The data collected from the questionnaire were analysed using descriptive statistical measures such as Mean, mode and frequency analysis. The major findings of this study includes; employees are able to balance life and work commitments while working from home. Although employees of AGP poultry are provided with the access to technology to work from home, they do not have the access to other data and documents to do their jobs smoothly from home. Employees are focused on work while working from home. most of the respondents do not prefer WFH over the traditional office set up. employees are meeting their KPI's working from home but they claim their performance while working from home is not better than their performance while working in a traditional office set up. | en_US |
