This paper aims to explain the impact of Work From Home (WFH) policies on Mental Emotional Conditions (MEC), Psychological Well-Being (PWB), Job Performance (JPr), Job Satisfaction (JSa), and Job Expectations (JEx) of government employees (call: state civil apparatus). The research subjects are employees who work in the central government with a sample of 180 people, randomly assigned the status of administrative staff, lecturers, researchers, and teachers. Data was collected by distributing questionnaires, and analyzed using the SEM technique of the Lisrel 87.0 program. The results showed that WFH had a significant impact on MEC, PWB, JPr, and JSa. On the other hand, these four variables have an effect on employee job expectations, with the highest values being owned by the MEC and PWB variables. The results of this study are important to note in order to minimize the negative impact of WFH on these four variables, as well as their effect on job expectations. The implementation of WFH needs to be supported by a work environment, the availability of data and information, as well as digital technology and a strong internet network. It is also necessary to pay attention to the emergence of negative effects on the indicators of the four variables, namely: behavioral problems and serious emotional symptoms (MEC), inhibiting personal growth and life goals (PWB), fostering cooperation and integrity (JPr), and leadership attitudes in the application of compensation and award (JSa). Emphasis on these indicators will affect the maintenance of employee job expectations, especially in terms of increasing income and careers.
