Abstract: The pandemic of COVID-19 has negatively impacted most of the countries of the world. The present study is an endeavor to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on the employees from India working in different private sector organizations. Applying Levene’s F-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, Effect Size analysis, Spearman Correlation, etc. the present study finds a significant number of employees are adversely affected, especially the employees for whom the nature of their work is such that it cannot be performed from home, and there is a lack of proper infrastructure available at home nor provided by the organization to discharge the duties. The managerial level employees are getting the benefit of infrastructure from the organizations and the rest are not, or the nature of work does not allow them to perform from home. Mann-Whitney U-test and Effect Size analysis conclude that work from home and job security between managerial and non-managerial groups have significant differences. However, the non-managerial group are facing immense challenges from not having the option to work from home and consequently uncertainty in their job security.
