This work examines the relationship between hybrid work model and employee performance of selected tertiary institutions in South-South Nigeria. Hence, The broad objective of this study is to determine the type of relationship that exists between Hybrid Work Model and Employee Performance of Selected Tertiary Institutions in South-South, Nigeria while the specific objective is to examine the relationship between flexible work schedule and employee engagement of Selected Tertiary Institutions in South-South, Nigeria. The study was anchored on Job Demand Resource Theory postulated by Bakker and Demerouti (2007). Survey research design was adopted for the study. Primary and secondary sources of data were employed by the researcher. Questionnaire was the data collection tool employed by the researcher for the study. A study population of three hundred and forty eight (348) was used for the study. Pearson Product Moment Correlation and regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses using SPSS version 20 and E-Views 10. The result obtained from the test of the formulated hypothesis revealed that a positive significant relationship exists between flexible work schedule and employee engagement since (F-Statisic = 730.9437, R-Squared = 0.879, P>0.05 ). Based on the findings, the researcher concluded that there exists a strong significant positive relationship between Hybrid Work Model and Employee Performance of Selected Tertiary Institutions in South-South, Nigeria. Sequel to the conclusion, the researcher recommended that the studied tertiary institutions should strive towards inculcating Hybrid Work Model methodology in their operations as it could impact the performance level of their employees and by extension encourage employee engagement.
