Emotional Stability and Job Satisfaction Among Remote and Hybrid IT Employees

Abstract

The rapid shift towards remote and hybrid work models has significantly transformed the working conditions of employees in the information technology sector. While flexible work arrangements offer benefits such as autonomy, reduced commuting time, and improved work flexibility, they also pose emotional and psychological challenges, including isolation, increased work pressure, digital fatigue, and difficulty in maintaining work–life boundaries. Emotional stability, which reflects an individual’s ability to manage stress, regulate emotions, and remain balanced under pressure, plays a crucial role in shaping employees’ attitudes toward their work in such environments. This study aims to examine the relationship between emotional stability and job satisfaction among IT employees working under remote and hybrid work models. A descriptive and analytical research design was adopted, and primary data were collected from IT professionals using a structured questionnaire. Statistical tools such as percentage analysis, mean score analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between emotional stability and job satisfaction, indicating that employees with higher emotional stability experience greater satisfaction in flexible work environments. The study highlights the importance of organizational initiatives focused on emotional well-being to enhance job satisfaction and sustain employee performance in remote and hybrid work settings.
