Hybrid Employees Approaches Toward Hybrid Working and the Work-Life Balance: A Field Study
Merve YosunkayaThe increases in digitalization and flexibility trends have affected work life deeply and caused major changes through the COVID-19 pandemic. On one hand, the accumulation of knowledge continues to increase, while the rapid development of digital transformations on the other hand has allowed standard work styles to be replaced by new ones. The aim of this study is to determine how hybrid working, which has become increasingly widespread, is evaluated from the perspective of hybrid employees and their relationship with the work-life balance. The study also aims to determine whether hybrid employees can maintain their work-life balance. In line with this, a field study has been carried out with 400 participants employed in hybrid working. The participants were asked questions about the HybridWorking Evaluation Form and theWork-Life Balance Scale through an online questionnaire. Participants are mostly between the ages of 23-27 and single. As a result of the gender-based analyses, no significant difference was found in the approaches to hybrid working and work-life balance. According to the research findings, almost all (86.8%) hybrid employees were observed to be satisfied with this work model and to want it to become permanent. However, two-thirds (66%) are concerned that the concept of work hours will disappear due to being constantly accessible throughout the day. Due to the limited number of studies in the literature on this subject, this article is thought to be able to contribute to the literature in this respect.
