Abstract
The shift towards hybrid work models has significantly redefined traditional organizational structures, ushering in new dynamics in workplace culture. This study explores the transformative influence of hybrid work arrangements on organizational culture, focusing on changes in employee behavior, communication patterns, leadership styles, and work-life integration. Drawing from secondary data sources, the research provides a strategic overview of the evolving workplace environment, highlighting the challenges and opportunities presented by hybrid frameworks. The findings indicate that while hybrid work fosters flexibility and autonomy, it also presents challenges such as diminished team cohesion, communication barriers, and inconsistencies in organizational identity. The paper underscores the importance of adaptive leadership, robust digital infrastructure, and inclusive policies to sustain cultural integrity in a hybrid setting. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of the strategic recalibrations necessary for organizational success in the post-pandemic world.
Keywords: Hybrid Work, Organizational Culture, Workplace Dynamics, Leadership, Employee Engagement.
