Abstract: This paper aims to see the impact of work-from-home jobs on different techno stressors and its impact on employee productivity. To assess the effects of work-from-home jobs on techno stressors, the study has applied multivariate analysis (Manova) and finding confirms significant positive impact on techno uncertainty, complexity and overload. The study has also applied the linear regression technique to determine the impact of techno stressors on the productivity of the employee. The finding confirms significant impact of techno uncertainty on the productivity of the employees, showing fear of losing jobs causing uncertainty positively impacting the productivity of the employees.
