THE ROLE OF HYBRID WORK MODELS IN ENHANCING EMPLOYEE WELL-BEING, PRODUCTIVITY, AND JOB SATISFACTION

Abstract

Introduction: The hybrid workplace model, which combines in-office and remote work, has gained significant traction, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. This shift has introduced new dynamics in workplace flexibility, altering employee well-being, productivity, and job satisfaction. Understanding the impact of hybrid work is crucial as organizations adapt to evolving work environments.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between hybrid work models and employee well-being, productivity, and job satisfaction. The study is guided by two hypotheses: (1) Hybrid work environments promote employee well-being, and (2) Hybrid work arrangements lead to increased productivity and job satisfaction.
Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted to establish the theoretical foundation for the study. A survey was administered to 1,000 employees from organizations implementing hybrid work models. Regression and correlation analyses were performed on the collected data to assess the relationships between hybrid work arrangements, well-being, productivity, and job satisfaction.
Results: The findings demonstrate a positive correlation between hybrid work models and employee well-being, confirming the first hypothesis. Employees in hybrid roles reported better mental health and job satisfaction. Additionally, the study supports the second hypothesis, as higher productivity was observed among employees with increased remote work flexibility.
Conclusion: Hybrid work models can serve as an effective strategy for improving organizational success and employee satisfaction. When properly implemented, they enhance worker well-being, increase productivity, and foster a more balanced work environment. Organizations should consider structured hybrid policies to maximize the benefits of this evolving work model in the modern workforce.
