Abstract

The transformation of educational organizations into digitally connected and hybrid environments has expanded academic interaction across physical and digital spaces. While hybridization offers greater flexibility and connectivity, it may also reshape how organizational members experience interpersonal and academic climates. This study proposes the Climate Compression Effect (CLC Effect) as a new qualitative conceptual lens for understanding a subtle organizational phenomenon in which the presence or arrival of a particular individual is experienced as narrowing the psychological, interpersonal, and communicative space of other organizational members. The study employs a qualitative exploratory approach and positions CLC as a sensitizing concept rather than a predetermined theoretical model. The conceptual analysis indicates that climate compression may be experienced through increased caution in communication, reduced openness, diminished informal interaction, greater interpersonal formality, selective communication, and withdrawal, even in the absence of overt conflict or formal organizational disruption. The phenomenon is particularly relevant to hybrid educational organizations because interpersonal influence may extend across interconnected physical and digital environments, including classrooms, meetings, messaging platforms, email, learning management systems, and online meetings. The study distinguishes CLC from organizational conflict, psychological safety, and the chilling effect by emphasizing the broader perceived contraction of the organizational space in which members communicate and interact. The CLC Effect is therefore proposed as a sensitizing concept for future qualitative investigation of interpersonal climate dynamics in hybrid educational organizations.

Abstract

Hybrid working has changed the way employees experience and understand work, particularly among Generation Z employees who are highly familiar with digital technology. This study aims to explore the meaning of work and the existential experiences of Gen Z employees in the hybrid era. A qualitative research approach with a phenomenological design was employed. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews with Gen Z employees who have experience working in hybrid environments and were selected using purposive sampling. The interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis, supported by NVivo or ATLAS.ti. The findings reveal four main themes: flexibility and freedom, work-life boundaries, technology and work experience, and meaning and identity. Hybrid working provides greater flexibility, autonomy, and control over work, but continuous digital connectivity can create difficulties in separating work from personal life. The findings also reveal a central paradox between freedom and attachment, where employees experience greater independence while remaining connected to work beyond conventional working hours. The study concludes that work for Gen Z is not merely a source of income but is also connected to identity, relationships, independence, purpose, and personal meaning. This study contributes a human-centered perspective to understanding hybrid working by emphasizing the lived and existential experiences of employees.
