All stakeholders have been discussing issues relating to both the short-term and long-term effects of work processes in the world of work. The revival of the work from home policy from the flexible working pattern's location flexibility has led to organizations initiation of the practice to keep employees working and the economy active. This study attempts to assess the effect of working from home and work-family conflict on employee's well-being. Methodology: The study employed a cross-sectional methodology through the purposive sampling technique. The study collected data from 310 respondents from 5 higher educational institutions across Malaysia through a web-based self-administered questionnaire. Data gathered were analyzed using PLS-SEM for the validity and reliability of the measurement items used. The hypothesis proposed was tested using structural equation modelling. Findings: Results from data analysis showed that work from home and work-family conflict negatively impact employees' well-being. In addition, organizational psychosocial support positively moderated the relationship between work from home, work-family conflict, and employee well-being. Practical Implication: The study lends valuable contributions to understanding how organizations can reduce the negative impact of work from home on well-being. Originality: This study is first of its kind to study employee-wellbeing of academic employees and how they are affected by the work from home policy.
