Discontent of Employees in Hybrid working Atmosphere

Abstract

During COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses have adopted remote work arrangements over the long run. Companies have long made an effort
to provide their workers with the best possible working conditions, that promotes maximum output, effectiveness, and revenue growth in addition
to job satisfaction. Remote working has obviously led to relatively short-term cost savings for many companies, startups and small and mediumsized enterprises(Aradhana S. Kumar et al 2022).Individuals working from home in initial stages worked faster as they need not drive, less
gatherings, have a relaxed lunch with family, and have less interaction with colleagues, later they felt discontent in hybrid working(Brinda
Sarker,2024).Workers who continuously balanced work and family life during remote work are under more stress as a result of hybrid working,
which include job dissatisfaction, social withdrawal, and lack of coordinated work relationships.Attribution theory explains how causal chain
judgments help to understand how people interpret the relationship between an event (cause) and its consequence(effect), and this understanding
affects decision-making, while they work from remote.According to Facilitate Magazine, a sizable portion of employees were thinking about
quitting their job because they are unhappy with hybrid work policies. They cite problems like ambiguous tasks, and teamwork challenges which
affected them mentally and physically as explained in dual theory. The shift is particularly difficult for leaders, who are suffering from "hybrid
whiplash" as a result of unstable policies and discovered it challenging to keep the team streamlined.
Key words:Hybridwork, discontent, Attribution theory, dual theory, hybrid whiplash,causal chain judgments
