Abstract: Abstract The present technical paper analyzes the extent to which a correlation between the variables ergonomics, productivity, and well-being in relation to working from home can be empirically proven. To answer this guiding question, an overview of the current state of research on home office work is provided and evaluated accordingly. For a deeper understanding of the initial situation, the relevant advantages and challenges of an ergonomic home office are first presented. Starting from the thesis that an ergonomic workplace significantly contributes to maintaining the physical health and thus the workability of employees, the factors of productivity and mental well-being are also related. The results not only confirm the initial thesis but also reveal a causal relationship between professional equipment, subjectively perceived productivity, and the mental health of the respondents.
