The purpose of this research is to examines the factors that impacted on the ability of lecturers in completing their tasks and responsibilities through WFH arrangements in response to COVID-19. The factors that were grouped into organizational and individual factors. Organizational factors identified from the literature as being potentially relevant to impacting on productivity included IT training, digital infrastructure, and management support. The contribution of this research is that it examines a forced and dramatic change in work routines because of the COVI19 crisis and the application across the workforce, not to selected individuals. There is contextual significance behind the research since the tertiary education plays strategic role in Indonesia in terms of employment, training, skills and development. Finally, this is an emerging economy context, and while Indonesia is an emerging economy in Southeast Asia, it does have social, religious, and cultural conditions that differ from those found in Western economies and this contributes to the importance of the study (Burgess et al., 2020).
