Author : Dr. R Vanadhi and Dr. S Parthiban
Abstract :
This research explores the implications of hybrid work styles on the work-life balance of IT professionals, focusing on flexibility, technostress, and organizational support. Hybrid work, a blend of remote and on-site engagements, has emerged as a transformative work model, driven by the pandemic-induced shift in workplace dynamics. While offering employees greater autonomy over their schedules, the model simultaneously introduces challenges such as blurred work-life boundaries and technostress. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study analyzes survey data from 200 respondents and interviews with 20 participants, highlighting the pivotal role of organizational support and flexibility in enhancing employee well-being. The findings underscore the dual-edged nature of hybrid work, emphasizing the need for policies that mitigate stressors and foster a balanced professional and personal life.
