Abstract

Working arrangements have shifted massively over the past few years, encouraging research to examine the effect of blended working on organizations as well as on employees. The present study investigates the relationship between blended working and organizational attractiveness, whilst simultaneously taking into account the need for relatedness. 196 participants filled out a survey consisting of reporting responses on a likert-type scale. The study was conducted using a within-subject experimental design, having one factor with two levels which corresponded to either blended working being present or not present. A main as well as a moderation effect were investigated in order to draw conclusions that aim to further strengthen the relationship between employer and employee and enhance the overall quality of an organization. The results replicated the finding from previous research indicating a positive relationship between blended working and organizational attractiveness, thus portraying a significant main effect. The moderating effect of the need for relatedness on the relationship between blended working and organizational attractiveness was found to be insignificant. Further research should be focused on other individual differences to aim for more understanding in the field of organizational psychology and blended working arrangements. Key words: blended working, organizational attractiveness, need for relatedness, individual differences, work environment
