{Abstract}: <B>OBJECTIVE: </B>To determine the influence of ergonomics on individual work performance of nurse educators working at home during the COVID-19 pandemic and to develop a model of the moderating effect of home environment.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>Cross-sectional, predictive-correlational design.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>Utilizing interaction moderation and structural equation modeling, 214 consecutively-selected educators from nursing schools in the Greater Manila Area, Philippines completed a four-part online survey.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>Physical, cognitive, and organizational ergonomics positively influenced individual work performance. Home environment had a linear, positive moderation on the effects of physical and cognitive ergonomics on individual work performance but had a negative moderating effect with organizational ergonomics.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>The moderated model underscored the positive effects of ergonomics and the moderating effect of home environment on the individual work performance of nurse educators working at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, and this knowledge can be used in developing appropriate programs, strategies, and policies.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>The moderated model highlights the need for policies and programs, training and education, and organizational evaluation geared towards promoting healthy workplace and work-life balance among nurse educators transitioning to remote work and online teaching.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Eligible participants contributed in the data collection with the survey responses.
