Productivity describes an outcome of the performance –the quantity of output that results from performance behaviors as well as external contextual and opportunity factors.Improving employee productivity is one of the important objectives of the organizations because higher levels of employee productivity can be beneficial to both its employees and organizations.COVID-19’s work implications (i.e. home office work environment, job insecurity and virtual connection) do impact employee’s performance, although not at the same extent.Increased stress, inadequate infrastructure, missing work environment, unrealistic performance expectations, impaired manager-employee relationship and difficulty establishing trust with colleagues are the downside of virtual work environment.
