Investigating the Factors Affecting Employee Job Satisfaction through Job Autonomy in the Growing Concept of Hybrid Working Model in the IT Industry

Abstract

The hybrid working model, which allows employees to work remotely, offers flexibility in schedules and hours, while balancing personal and professional life. Post-COVID-19, employees perceive this concept and its impact on their psychological well-being. The study explores the pros and cons of this model, focusing on telecommuters' experiences. While it offers increased productivity, flexibility in work schedule, sales intention, approach to international diverse workforce, and improved conditions of workings, it also presents challenges like lack of time due to time pressure, financial insecurity, mental stress, and lack in discipline, loneliness, and difficulty in prioritizing the tasks. Both developed and developing countries face challenges in remote work due to lack of work commitment, mental pressure, and increased cyber security risks. In this research close ended survey questionnaire is used to quantitatively measure the issues facing by employees during three plus two working model (hybrid model). This study helps understand how work practices and technology impact job satisfaction and develops strategies to improve working conditions in the IT industry.  Additional evaluations and studies will be conducted to assess the feasibility of the three plus two working model (hybrid model) and its applications as a benchmark for best practices in developed countries.
