Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between hybrid work environments and employee performance in the digital era using a bibliometric approach. The rapid transformation of digital technology and the shift in organizational work patterns after the COVID-19 pandemic have made hybrid work a dominant research theme globally. Therefore, this study seeks to map scientific developments, intellectual structures, and research trends related to hybrid work and employee performance to identify existing conceptual patterns and potential research gaps. The Scopus database was used as the primary source of indexed publications to 2024, retrieved using Publish or Perish with keywords such as "work environment," "hybrid work environment," and "hybrid work." A total of 200 relevant articles were analyzed. The methodology employed includes data screening, standardization, and keyword cleaning, followed by bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer to visualize co-authorship networks, keyword co-occurrence, and thematic evolution. The findings indicate that hybrid work is strongly associated with themes such as flexibility, digital communication, work-life balance, employee engagement, and productivity. The results also show that research interest in hybrid work has increased significantly after 2021, with performance outcomes influenced by digital readiness, organizational support, communication quality, and adaptive leadership. This study provides practical implications for organizations to design hybrid work policies that enhance performance, reduce digital fatigue, and promote employee well-being. Theoretically, it contributes to mapping hybrid work as an emerging field in human resource management research. The originality of this study lies in its comprehensive bibliometric mapping of hybrid work–performance relationships, offering updated insights for scholars and practitioners in the digital work era.
