Hybrid Work and Organisational Transformation : Culture, Trust, and Digital Communication (Routledge Studies in Management, Organizations and Society)

As hybrid and remote work reshapes the modern workplace, Hybrid Work and Organisational Transformation offers a timely and research-based exploration of how organisations are redefining identity, trust, and communication in digitally mediated environments. This interdisciplinary monograph examines the cultural, psychological, and linguistic dynamics of hybrid work, providing a conceptual and practical framework for understanding and managing these transformations. Drawing on qualitative case studies from diverse sectors and regions, this book bridges theory and practice to deliver actionable insights for navigating the complexities of hybrid work cultures. Key features include a diagnostic framework for evaluating organisational readiness, trust-building strategies for virtual teams, and tools for fostering inclusion and collaboration in distributed environments. Grounded in social identity theory, trust theory, and digital affordance frameworks, it integrates empirical evidence with foresight scenarios and strategic recommendations. Readers will gain valuable perspectives on team cohesion, leadership ethics, and digital communication technologies, ensuring their organisations thrive in the post-pandemic era. Designed for advanced students, academic researchers, and practitioners, this volume is ideal for those in organisational behaviour, human resource management, digital communication, and leadership studies. Public sector organisations, multinational enterprises, and educators will also benefit from its insights into building resilient, high-trust hybrid workplaces.
