Before the Covid pandemic, Sri

with physical working practices.
This study aims to assess the impact
of telecommuting intensity on occupational
stress. Data were collected
from 218 respondents using a selfadministered

an online survey. The convenience
sampling technique was applied to

showed a strong positive relationship
between telecommuting intensity and
occupational stress among working
women in the IT industry in Sri
Lanka. Further, it exhibited that
telecommuting intensity has a significant
positive impact on occupational
stress. Therefore, organizations must
dev el op a plan t o support
