An Analysis of the Impact of Hybrid Work Models on Work-Life Balance

The thesis examines the impact of hybrid work on employees’ work-life balance. The aim is to comprehensively analyse the impact of hybrid work on work-life balance and to compare it with other work arrangements, especially with fully remote work. The theoretical part outlines different forms of remote work, the hybrid model, and approaches to work-life balance. The empirical part employs a survey to test the formulated hypotheses. The findings indicate that the type of work arrangements itself is not a decisive factor in determining work-life balance. Instead, flexibility and autonomy play a key role, while organizational support has only a supplementary effect. Neither commuting time savings nor demographic factors proved to be significant. The thesis provides recommendations on how to effectively design hybrid work models, with an emphasis on fostering autonomy and clearly defining boundaries between work and personal life.
