Abstract
The severe COVID-19 pandemic triggered an extraordinary global health crisis, resulting in an economic downturn and negative consequences for employees' work lives, especially work engagement.

However, this concept is usually applied under normal conditions and not because of the current pandemic. This paper attempts to provide an overview of the concept of telecommuting (working remotely) or working from home/WFH (working from home) in terms of work engagement. This paper suggests that work from home, covid-19, anda work engagement is a function of the interactions involving individual, organization, and the environment. The report discusses individual and organizational roles in fostering employee engagement. The article provides general ideas for researchers interested in extending employee engagement studies under critical situations.
