The Influence of Effective Management on Hybrid Work Styles and Employee Wellness in Healthcare Organizations

Abstract

The growing adoption of hybrid work styles in healthcare organizations presents new challenges for management, as leaders must balance employee wellness with organizational goals. Effective management strategies are essential to foster a supportive work environment while maintaining productivity in hybrid settings. This research investigates the personal experiences of hybrid workers, exploring their perspectives on health and wellbeing in such arrangements, and examines how organizations can proactively support their health, mitigating potential risks. Existing management methods often fail to address the complexities of hybrid work, leading to employee burnout, disengagement, and communication difficulties. Current approaches are typically one-size-fits-all and lack customization for the healthcare sector, where operational demands and employee wellbeing are critical. The proposed method introduces a Mixed-Methods Approach (MMA), integrating qualitative and quantitative data to capture a comprehensive view of the management challenges in hybrid healthcare settings. This framework combines surveys, interviews, and performance metrics to assess employee wellbeing, job satisfaction, and overall organizational effectiveness in hybrid work environments. Findings indicate that hybrid work arrangements can act as both a job resource and job demand, with employees experiencing positive and negative effects on their wellbeing. The study offers tailored recommendations to enhance hybrid work, contributing to improved employee health and organizational performance.
