Abstract As the COVID‐19 pandemic wanes, many organizations are asking employees to return office concerned that more extensive remote work could hurt employee morale and productivity.

RWI refers extensiveness ranging from one or two days week full‐time work. We propose dual pathway model linking outcomes arguing has indirect but opposing same via mediators—perceived autonomy isolation. Findings RWI's based 108 studies ( k = 110, N 45,288) support model.

Published: Aug. 28, 2024

The concept of 'hybrid work', characterized by ongoing alternation between traditional and non-traditional work modes, has gained significant attention in recent research. Despite its growing relevance, a consistent coherent conceptualization hybrid remains elusive. This article aims to address this gap offering comprehensive nuanced understanding work, contributing conceptual clarity application. We draw on an extensive literature review propose definition that encompasses dynamic switches across three dimensions: modality (analog/face-to-face vs. digital/virtual), location (office/co-located non-office/distributed), temporality (constrained/synchronous unconstrained/asynchronous). Building existing our dynamic, three-dimensional, multilevel we reinterpret key findings within the HRM domain, illustrating how framework brings previously ambiguous aspects work. reinterpretation not only underscores theoretical contributions but also identifies new research directions inspired these insights.
