The relationship between physical, social, and personal factors and job satisfaction among work from home administrative and diplomatic officers

The public sector must consider civil servants’ job satisfaction when working from home
\n(WFH), in order to perform high-quality services. Appropriate physical, social and personal
\nfactors are needed to improve job satisfaction for employees who are working from home.
\nThis study aims to determine the relationship between physical, social, and personal factors
\nwith job satisfaction. A cross-sectional design method was used to employ a quantitative
\napproach via self-administered questionnaire with 140 randomly selected respondents who
\nwere civil servants in Malaysia, ranked at middle-management. Results showcased significant
\nrelationship between physical, social and personal factors with job satisfaction. Further
\nresults showed that physical and social factors positively and significantly correlated with job
\nsatisfaction. There was no significant relationship between personal factors and job
\nsatisfaction. The findings of this study could serve as a guide and reference to the
\norganizational management to improve job satisfaction of their employees who work from
\nhome.
