The participants of this study were the two hundred seventeen (217) regular and part-time faculty members of ISAT U System, AY 2021-2022. Random sampling technique was used in selecting the samples to ensure a fair representation of the target population. The sample size was determined using Slovin’s Formula. The researcher-made instrument using remote data gathering method (google form) and face to face gathering of data was utilized to collect the data. The instrument was subjected to content validation with the three experts. The study revealed that the faculty members were extremely motivated, extremely committed, extremely satisfied in their jobs and had very satisfactory teaching performance in the work from home perspective. A significant relationship was observed between motivation and commitment, between motivation and job satisfaction, and between commitment and job satisfaction in the work from home perspective of faculty members.
