Abstract

Work stress is one of the factors that can lower immunity. The WFH (work from home) policy is made so that the working community can avoid Covid-19, but it becomes counter-productive if employees who undergo WFH experience stress and their immunity decreases. This research was conducted using correlational quantitative methods to examine the impact of work-life balance and learning agility on the work stress of employees who have to work from home during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research subjects/respondents were company employees in the Jakarta area who underwent WFH during the Covid-19 pandemic as many as 57 respondents using incidental sampling. Data analysis using SEM-PLS and obtained the results: (1) There is a significant direct impact of work-life balance on the work stress of employees who undergo WFH; (2) There is a significant direct impact of learning agility on the work stress of employees undergoing WFH
