Job Satisfaction as a Key Driver of Employee Engagement in Hybrid Work Model: Evidence from Work–Life Balance, Supervisory Support and Workload

Abstract

This study examines the impact of work-life balance (WLB), supervisory support and workload on employee job satisfaction (JS) in the hybrid work model. Data is collected from 225 employees with more than 2 years of experience in the hybrid model. Findings outline that workload, WLB & supervisory support are strong predictors of JS. Through the creation of healthy work environments and ensuring balanced workload, supervisors are able to keep employees satisfied enough for them to be engaged at their jobs. This study highlights that an integrated HRM approach is important for enhancing well-being among employees and for aligning objectives for long-term operational efficiency in hybrid workplaces.
