This paper explores the disruption factor of practising WFH towards productivity that affected higher education in Malaysia during the outbreak of COVID 19. There is a disagreement with the WFH itself, but this impact can be mitigated or even reversed when people prefer integration. This research analyzed, reviewed and clarified in depth the technology readiness factor from previous studies. For the sake of a lack of understanding, this paper acknowledges and discusses the conceptual practice of working from home that contributes to productivity in higher education in a single setting in developing countries. This research examined the factor of the technology readiness of WFH that affect the productivity of Malaysia's higher education learning. The analysis findings will shed some light on our perception of the problematic technology readiness element in WFH practice. It also offers the current information corpus to researchers and a pledge to extend the study stream on WFH processes. It also provides researchers with the existing corpus of knowledge and promises to expand the research stream on WFH practices. The empirical findings will suggest the challenge of technology readiness during working from home and how to face it by the academician in possible ways to obtain considerable potential for improving productivity a higher education institution in Malaysia.
