Purpose This study aims to analyze the effect of work from home (WFH) on employee productivity in the digital era, particularly in the context of work system changes accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the development of information technology. Methodology This research employs a quantitative approach with a survey method. The research population consisted of employees in the service and information technology sectors in Makassar City who have implemented or are currently implementing the WFH system, with a total sample of 120 respondents selected using purposive sampling technique. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire with a 1–5 Likert scale. Data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression with SPSS version 25. Findings The results indicate that work from home has a positive and significant effect on employee productivity, with a regression coefficient of 0.612 and a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. The R² value of 0.524 indicates that WFH can explain 52.4% of the variation in employee productivity. Suggestion Organizations are advised to strengthen technological infrastructure, formulate structured WFH policies, and pay attention to employees' work-life balance to optimize productivity. The limitation of this study lies in its geographic scope, which is limited to Makassar City, so generalization of results should be approached with caution..
