Exploring the Role of Hybrid Work Arrangements in Enhancing Employee Satisfaction and Work-Life Balance

Abstract This study investigates the role of hybrid work arrangements (HWAs) in enhancing employee satisfaction and work-life balance, focusing on their potential as a transformative strategy in modern workplaces. Using a quantitative research approach, data was collected through structured surveys from 127 respondents across IT and non-IT industries, employing stratified random sampling to ensure diversity in gender, age, job roles, and industry. Statistical analysis, including ANOVA, t-tests, and regression models, revealed that HWAs significantly improve employee outcomes by offering flexibility and autonomy. The study also highlights the moderating role of organizational support and communication clarity in amplifying the benefits of HWAs. These findings underscore the strategic value of hybrid work models in fostering a more satisfied, balanced, and inclusive workforce.
