The Impact of Work Mode on Employee Engagement and Job Satisfaction: A Comparative Study of In-Office and Remote Work Environments

Author(s) Ms. Riza Kausar, Dr. Anita Gupta
Country India
Abstract Flexible work modes such as remote and hybrid arrangements have become increasingly common, but their impact on employee well-being remains uncertain. This study explores how different work settings influence two critical workplace variables which are employee engagement and job satisfaction. The aim of this study is to assess and compare levels of employee engagement and job satisfaction among individuals working remotely, in-office, and in hybrid environments. A comparative study was carried out using a self-administered online questionnaire collecting data from 100 participants across India aged 20–50 years using standardized tools: the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) and the Job Satisfaction Index (JSI). Participants were divided into three groups: remote, in-office, and hybrid. The analysis, conducted using One-Way ANOVA and Independent Sample t-tests via SPSS to analyze the differences in satisfaction and engagement across the three work modes. Remote workers reported slightly higher job satisfaction, and hybrid employees demonstrated slightly higher engagement. However, differences across work modes were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). No significant variance was found in the hybrid subgroup's experiences between remote and in-office tasks. Work mode alone does not significantly impact employee engagement or job satisfaction. Organizational factors such as autonomy, leadership quality, and interpersonal dynamics may play a more decisive role in shaping employee experiences.
