Organisational Support of Sustainable Hybrid Work: Between Homely Workspace and the Need for Live Cooperation

(1) Background: The objective of this study is to obtain insights and analyse hybrid work (HW) arrangements implemented after the COVID-19 pandemic in Slovenia. We first define the concept of HW. We focus on organisational support of HW within the work requirements and resources model framework and are interested in the following aspects: The extent and the effects of HW on the quality of work, work/life balance, and workers’ well-being; ways in which HW is supported by the organisation; and key organisational challenges of HW. (2) Methods: Structured interviews with 75 workers and managers of hybrid work in Slovenia. (3): Results: HW is formalised and organisationally supported. The initiative for it lies primarily with the employees and is based on a high level of trust. The smooth implementation of the HW process requires mutual concern from employees and employers, an active role from leaders, and frequent live face-to-face collaboration. (4) Conclusions: Identifying HW practices, challenges, and the recommendations for work environments, will help individuals, HR managers, organisational leaders and businesses to optimise their HW arrangements.
