Abstract
Blended working arrangements have become increasingly popular due in part to the covid-19 pandemic. How effective job satisfaction is in comparison to traditional office-based work settings might depend on differences in personal needs. In this study we looked at whether the relationship between opportunity for blended working and job satisfaction is moderated by the personal need for structure. We also looked at whether this moderation effect can be compensated for by using a task-oriented leadership style. We conducted a cross-sectional survey study including a sample of 61 workers who completed the study. We found that personal need for structure moderates the relationship between opportunity for blended working and job satisfaction but found no significant three-way interaction for the effect of task-oriented leadership. These results are an initial step in bringing together the lines of research on the effects of blended working arrangements, individual differences in needs, and leadership styles. Keywords: blended working, need for structure, cross-sectional survey, leadership
