Abstract	Remote and hybrid work can alter workload, autonomy, social connection and work-home boundaries, but the psychological consequences vary across employees and work contexts. This exploratory cross-sectional study described perceived stress, positive wellbeing, burnout-related responses and organizational-commitment responses among five remote or hybrid employees in Bengaluru, India. A written questionnaire included ten workplace-adapted perceived-stress items, the WHO-Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5), a researcher-selected six-item burnout-related set, and a short six-item organizational-commitment form. Corrected adapted-stress scores were 25, 11, 31, 15 and 22 (M = 20.80, SD = 7.95). WHO-5 scores were 40, 72, 24, 64 and 48 (M = 49.60, SD = 19.10). The informal burnout-related arithmetic index averaged 19.60/36 (SD = 9.96), while raw commitment scores showed very little variation (M = 18.20/30, SD = 0.45). Within this five-person sample, higher adapted-stress scores occurred alongside lower WHO-5 wellbeing and higher burnout-related scores. The very small convenience sample, modified stress wording, abbreviated burnout items and short commitment form prevent population inference, diagnosis or psychometric claims. The findings are best interpreted as a transparent pilot description that highlights the importance of workload, recovery, social connection and measurement quality in future remote-work research.
