Sažetak

Purpose: Technology driven economy poses challenges and opportunities to human capital. The outbreak of COVID 19, brought a wave for fl exible working. By harnessing modern technology, organizations across the globe adopted hybrid working model as a viable alternative. Hybrid work gives the employees and employers a bondage of conciliation on their requirements. This model provides advantages to the economy, the employees and the employers alike, and at same time bears certain disadvantages too. This study adopted
a descriptive and quantitative research design by collecting primary data through a structured questionnaire administered to 50 IT employees at Infopark, Kochi, Kerala, India. Data was analyzed by using SPSS software. Frequency analysis, cross-tabulation, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and the Mann-Whitney U test were employed in this study. The fi ndings reveal that a majority of respondents prefer hybrid working mode due to fl exibility and work-life balance benefi ts. The study established that age has a signifi cant impact on the challenges
faced by employees in hybrid work (p = 0.043), and that gender diff erences in challenges are also statistically signifi cant (p = 0.042), with female employees reporting greater diffi culties. However, no signifi cant diff erence was found in challenges across diff erent working styles (p = 0.415), suggesting that employees encounterdiffi culties regardless of their mode of work. This study will have signifi cant implications for researchers, organizations and policy makers.
