Abstract:
The Hybrid Work Arrangement (HWAS) is an integration of both remote work and on-site work
methods. Especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, the way of conceptualization and evaluation of employee
performance has shifted from traditional methods to digital methods with the emergence of concepts like
Employee Digital Performance (EDP). EDP reflects employees’ ability to effectively perform tasks via digital
platforms, virtual collaboration tools, and technology-mediated processes. The current study addresses: prevailing
empirical and conceptual evidence on the relationship between hybrid work arrangements and employee digital
performance, examines how hybrid work arrangements influence employee digital performance, and identifies
the geographical distribution of research on hybrid work arrangements and employee digital performance. For the
methodology of this study, according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses
(PRISMA), initially, the literature of the articles was reviewed, followed by a Systematic Literature Review (SLR).
To meet the research objectives, 104 publications published between 2017 and 2025 were retrieved from the
Scopus database, and a bibliometric analysis was conducted. The VOS viewer software is used to visualize the
data files. Recent empirical studies reveal that hybrid work generally positively influences employee performance
by offering spatial and temporal flexibility and increasing overall job satisfaction. However, the lack of ad-hoc
collaborations and delayed communication affects employee performance. By connecting existing literature, this
systematic literature review contributes to the emerging body of knowledge on hybrid work arrangements and
employee digital performance.
