Abstract

This study examines factors from Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory, Deci's self-determination theory, and life-course fit theory to understand their effects on virtual and hybrid workers' job retention. Data were collected from 623 respondents in Thailand, and structural equation modelling and data analysis techniques were used to test the relationships between pay, promotion, supervision, fringe benefits, life-course fit, intrinsic motivation, and extrinsic motivation and job retention for virtual and hybrid workers, as well as the moderating effects of job level and virtual intensity. The results indicate that motivator-hygiene factors - pay, promotion, supervision, and fringe benefits - do not significantly contribute to the job retention of virtual and hybrid workers. However, the relationships between life-course fit, intrinsic motivation, and extrinsic motivation and job retention were significant. This is one of the very few studies that applies these theories in the context of virtual and hybrid work, which expands the theories' boundaries of knowledge.
