This study investigated the influence of the physical work environment, work life balance, work flexibility, and effective communication on the job performance of IT professionals in Sri Lanka’s IT industry who work from home (WFH). A standard questionnaire was used to collect data from 293 IT specialists in 50 different IT organizations in Sri Lanka, and a stepwise probit model was employed for data analysis. According to the findings, both the physical work environment and work life balance had a significantly positive effect on job performance. A one-unit increase in the physical work environment and work life balance increased the likelihood of high job performance by 0.21% and 0.19%, respectively. In contrast, work flexibility had a negative effect on job performance, with an increase of one unit resulting in a 0.18% decrease in the likelihood of high job performance. The positive impact of effective communication on job performance was less significant. The study emphasises the significance of providing a conducive work environment and promoting work life balance to enhance the job performance of IT professionals in Sri Lanka’s IT industry who WFH.

本研究针对斯里兰卡信息技术行业采用居家办公（Work From Home, WFH）模式的IT专业人员，探究了物理工作环境、工作生活平衡、工作灵活性与有效沟通对其工作绩效的影响。本研究采用标准化问卷，从斯里兰卡50家不同IT企业的293名IT专员处收集数据，并运用逐步概率单位模型（stepwise probit model）开展数据分析。研究结果显示，物理工作环境与工作生活平衡均对工作绩效存在显著正向影响：物理工作环境与工作生活平衡每提升1个单位，从业者获得高工作绩效的概率分别提升0.21%与0.19%。与之相对，工作灵活性对工作绩效存在负向影响，每提升1个单位，高工作绩效的发生概率将降低0.18%。有效沟通对工作绩效的正向影响则相对较弱。本研究强调，为斯里兰卡IT行业采用居家办公模式的IT专业人员营造适宜的工作环境、推动工作生活平衡，对提升其工作绩效具有重要意义。
