Abstract
The emergence of hybrid work has transcended organizational boundaries, trailblazed by post- pandemic outlooks. Hybrid work, enabled through information- and communication technologies, has the potential to harmonize the advantages of traditional office work and telework for employees. However, there exists a dearth of research on this promising paradigm, particularly concerning the impact of varying levels of telework intensity within hybrid work setups – spanning from full-time office work to complete telework. This study aims to empirically investigate how different telework intensities influence employees' negative emotions, specifically professional isolation and envy, and how these emotions, in turn, affect turnover intentions and perceived job performance. Our findings show that lower to no telework intensity is prone to the development of envious feelings. Surprisingly, office workers feel more professionally isolated than teleworking peers. Both envy and professional isolation significantly correlate with heightened turnover intentions and reduced perceived job performance.
