Abstract
Three hundred sixty employees from various levels in the IT sector participated in this study, responding to items measuring job stress and work-life imbalance due to working from home. Principal Factor analysis identified 17 items with three factors for work-life imbalance and 26 items with three factors for job stress, demonstrating strong psychometric properties (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.80-0.94). Confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis using structural equation modelling validated the instruments. The study found a positive correlation between job stress and work-life imbalance, indicating that increased job stress due to working from home negatively impacts employees’ work-life balance, ultimately affecting their mental and physical health
