Abstract
As remote work becomes increasingly common, there remains a scarcity of comprehensive research on the topic. This study aims to address this gap by delving into the dynamics of hybrid work arrangements, particularly focusing on their impact on work meaningfulness. Drawing from previous research on the psychological implications of hybrid work setups, our investigation examines the roles of authenticity and belongingness as potential mediators in this context. Data were gathered via an online survey administered to employed individuals, probing into aspects of hybrid work, authenticity, belongingness, and work meaningfulness. The relationships among these variables were measured through the use of descriptive statistics, correlations, and multiple mediation analysis. Contrary to expectations, the study found no adverse relationship between hybrid work and authenticity, belongingness, or work meaningfulness. Instead, a significant positive correlation emerged between belongingness and work meaningfulness, whereas authenticity did not demonstrate a significant link with work meaningfulness. These results underscore the critical importance of nurturing a sense of belonging in hybrid work environments and suggest promising avenues for future research in this domain.
