The idea of Work from Home (WFH) has been one of the alternate workplace options for decades, mostly used by technology companies for their knowledge workers, and till 2019 it was available only at special request. the arrival of Covid 19 and the global lockdowns that followed made WFH mandatory. For this study, we reviewed the literature on the concepts of Work from Home and the concepts of productivity from a non-mathematical point of view. Research about Work from Home in the Covid 19 period is limited as the pandemic is of recent origin. Following this review, we decided to focus our study on some aspects of personality and the attitudes of the it professionals and the impact of these factors on their productivity. the study used a questionnaire sent out to it employees of various organizations in india. almost all these employees were working from their homes. over 500 validated responses were received. the study found that some of the aspects of core self-evaluation and job attitudes were positively correlated to the productivity of the employee. at the same time, other aspects of these dimensions were not correlated to productivity. these differential results mirrored that of other scholars and earlier researches, where there was no unidirectional correlation between these variables and productivity. this is one of the first detailed works on productivity during the course of Work from Home, both among knowledge workers as well as in the Indian context
