Özet

During the Covid-19 pandemic, which is a very new process and we are in, many organizations had to quickly adapt to the home working/remote working system. Especially in order to ensure the health and safety of employees, many organizations have switched to working from home and even some organizations are still continuing this process. This article is a research article and aims to reveal the work life balance of employees and statistical differences in terms of various characteristics during the Covid-19 pandemic process. The research was conducted using a survey with a total of 165 employees. SPSS 24 Package program was used in the analysis of the data. According to the results of the research, the work life balance of the employees during the pandemic process differs statistically significantly according to gender, age, marital status, lifestyle, sector and position. Work life balance does not show a statistically significant difference in terms of having children, education level and receiving phone/email outside of working hours. When the average daily working hours of the employees before the pandemic and the average daily working hours during / after the pandemic are compared, it is revealed that there are changes in working hours.
