Özet:

 The aim of this study is to examine the working from home experiences of software developers who transitioned from working in an office before the COVID-19 pandemic to working from home in the post-pandemic period. The research employs a qualitative research design with a phenomenological approach. Data for the study were collected from 19 software developers who reside in Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir. These developers had shifted from office-based work before the COVID 19 pandemic to full-time working from home due to pandemic restrictions. The study group was reached using a snowball sampling method. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the data. The emerged codes were grouped into two themes: advantages of working from home and disadvantages of working from home. In the findings, under the theme of advantages of working from home, software developers highlighted 1 time saved from commuting, 2 enhanced focus, 3 home comfort, 4 effective time management, and 5 personal development. Regarding the disadvantages of working from home, the identified themes were 1 loneliness and social isolation, 2 reduced sense of belonging, 3 need for face-to-face interactions, 4 disconnect from coworkers, and 5 presence of factors causing inertia. This study concludes that working from home presents a range of benefits and challenges for software developers.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, COVID-19 pandemisi öncesinde ofiste çalışırken pandemi sonrası dönemde evden çalışmaya geçen yazılım geliştiricilerin uzaktan çalışma deneyimlerini incelemektir. Araştırmada nitel araştırma desenlerinden fenomonolojik yaklaşım tercih edilmiştir. Araştırma verileri İstanbul, Ankara ve İzmir şehirlerinde ikamet eden, COVİD-19 pandemisi öncesinde ofisten, pandemi kısıtlamalarından sonra örgütün tam zamanlı olarak evden çalışma kararı ile evden çalışmaya dönen 19 yazılım geliştiriciden toplanmıştır. Çalışma grubuna kartopu örnekleme yöntemi ile ulaşılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimsel analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda ortaya çıkan kodlar, evden çalışmanın avantajları ve evden çalışmanın dezavantajları olmak üzere iki temada toplanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, yazılım geliştiricilerin evden çalışmanın avantajları temasında 1 işe gidiş-geliş kaynaklı zaman tasarrufu, 2 odaklanma, 3 ev konforu, 4 etkili zaman yönetimi 5 kişisel gelişim; evden çalışmanın dezavantajları temasında ise 1 yalnızlık ve sosyal izolasyon, 2 düşük aidiyet hissi, 3 yüz yüze etkileşim ihtiyacı, 4 çalışma arkadaşlarından kopukluk, 5 atalet faktörlerinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
