Abstract

As hybrid work arrangements have become more prevalent in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the alignment between jobs and workers has also evolved, arguably in ways that research has yet to fully capture. We build on the theoretical foundation of person-environment fit – and person-job fit specifically – to investigate how employees’ work arrangements and their perceived fit with their work arrangements influence important personal (e.g., work-life balance, stress) and work-related (e.g., organizational commitment, engagement) outcomes. Quantitative evidence from a survey of 427 hybrid workers supports the idea that the extent to which an individual’s desires, needs, and values align with their work arrangement plays an important role in their personal and work-related well-being. We advocate for expanding the conceptualization of person-job and person-environment fit models to incorporate work arrangements and provide recommendations for research and practice.
