This study aims to determine the perceptions of employees about the remote (home) work model they prefer in order to ensure social isolation of during the pandemic period. To this goal, one of the qualitative research methods, the interpretative phenomenology (event science) research scheme has been used. Remote (home) work, compared to work from the workplace, differs in terms of technical infrastructure (technical equipment and technical knowledge competence), time management, space, non-work roles and interaction. The research was carried out with the participation of academics working from home with the remote (home) work model in the March-April 2020 period. The research was attended by 20 academics working at the public university. The study found that the participants’ perception of the technical infrastructure problem in the work model from home is negative, meaning that they don’t have the necessary equipment to work from home from the university has not provided vehicle support in this regard. The percentage of those who think they don’t have the necessary technical knowledge to work from home is 30%. The study found that the participants’ perception of time management in the work model from home was positive, and they thought time management was more efficient during the work period from home. Compared to the work environment at work, the work space at home (light, sound insulation, ventilation system, etc. In terms of criteria) the ratio of more efficient findings is determined to be 70%. The study found that the participants’ perception of the role conflict in the work model from home was generally positive, and that 60% of the participants said that work from home was a positive contribution to the family roles. The research finds that work from home is generally positively perceived by academics who participate in the research. It can be said that the nature of the work done is suitable for work from a distance (of home) and that the work from a distance (of home) is effective in the nature of academicity. This study provides preliminary information on the studies that want to measure the perception of the work facts from home to perform in different sectors. It is also expected that this study will make an original contribution to the field because it contains a phenemological research pattern that is not frequently used in social sciences.
