This conference paper explores the psychological, emotional, and organizational outcomes of flexible work structures, with a particular emphasis on employee motivation, team dynamics, and organizational spirit. Using Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as a flexible interpretive model, the research applies a mixed-method approach in IT-sector organizations to identify how remote and hybrid arrangements affect individuals differently based on changing contextual factors. The study outlines risks and coping strategies for leaders and work psychologists aiming to preserve organizational vitality in an increasingly digital work environment.
