Organizing hybrid work: The way forward

After the pandemic, many organizations consider hybrid work as their future organizational design. Working across time, space, and culture, changes the contextual settings and increases the complexity, affecting several components of the workplace design. A system model by Galbraith et al. (2002), named the STAR model, will be applied to the context of hybrid work, investigating the model's components: Strategy, structure, process, rewards, and people. Using current research about distributed and hybrid work these components will be explored, replying to the following research question: How can the STAR model be applied to hybrid work settings? Based on the study, two propositions were made. One of the propositions was integrated into a reversed STAR model, “HYBRID STAR”, aiming to respond to future investigation and analysis of organizing hybrid work where technology forms the ground.
