Abstract: In light of the sudden shift towards hybrid working models since the pandemic, organizational designs have been radically transformed, but research regarding their double-edged effect on employees' well-being and performance is not well established yet. In this study, we aim to explore the effects of hybrid working strategies such as flexible scheduling, balanced remote and office attendance, and utilization of digital collaboration tools on various factors like job satisfaction, burnout rates, and task performance. Our research, employing a combined methodology involving a survey consisting of 320 knowledge workers from the fields of information technology, finance, and the creative industries, and also 12 semi-structured interviews with HR managers, suggests that a structured hybrid working arrangement, which includes going to the office twice to three times a week, positively affects well-being (p < 0.01) and self-perceived performance (β = 0.42).
