Abstract

The home appliance industry is very influential in society due to its close relationship with people and the use of its products on a daily basis. Accordingly, the main purpose of this study is to determine a structural model for improving job performance in telecommuting in the home appliance industry during the Covid-19 epidemic. The present study is a descriptive-survey type in terms of data collection and analysis. The statistical population of the research is the managers of the home appliance industry to 160 people, of which 112 people were selected as a sample according to the Cochran's formula. Sampling method In this research, in terms of stratified sampling and samples from each stratum were selected by simple random sampling. Standard questionnaires were used to measure the variables of job performance, telework, and IT anxiety. To test the hypotheses, the structural equation model method was used in the context of SPSS 20 and Smart PLS 2 statistical software. Findings indicate a positive and significant effect of information and communication technology anxiety on work interruption. Also, the effect of information and communication technology anxiety on job performance was positive and significant. Also, the effect of work stoppage on job efficiency was positive and significant.
