Abstract

This work examined the relationship between hybrid work model and employee performance of selected tertiary institutions in South-South Nigeria. The broad objective was to determine the type of relationship that existed between hybrid work model and employee performance of the selected tertiary institutions while the specific objective was to examine the relationship between flexible work schedules and employee engagement of the selected tertiary institutions. The study was anchored on Job Demand Resource Theory postulated by Bakker and Demerouti (2007). A survey research design was adopted for the study. Primary and secondary sources of data were employed for the study. Structured questionnaire was the data collection tool employed by the study. A study population of three hundred and forty-eight (348) was used. Pearson Product Moment Correlation and regression analysis were used to test the hypotheses with the aid of SPSS version 20 and E-Views 10. The result obtained from the test of hypothesis revealed that a positive significant relationship exists between flexible work schedule and employee engagement since (F-Statistics = 730.9437, R-Squared = 0.879, P>0.05). Based on the findings, the study concluded that there exists a strong significant positive relationship between the hybrid work model and employee performance of the selected tertiary institutions in South-South, Nigeria. Sequel to the conclusion, the study recommended that the studied tertiary institutions need to strive towards inculcating the hybrid work model methodology in their operations as it could influence the performance level of their employees and by extension encourage employee engagement.
