Information Systems Journal: Special Issue The new wave of hybrid
work: An opportunity to revise assumptions and build theory
Introduction
This special issue focuses on the recent resurgence of interest
in, and accelerated implementation of, hybrid working practices in
the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic (Abdullah et al., 2020;
Hilberath, 2020). Hybrid work comprises work arrangements that
combine physical work space and time with virtual work space and
time (Halford 2005; Jacobs, 2021; Messenger & Gschwind, 2016;
Sewell & Taskin, 2015). It encompasses practices such as
working-from-home, remote working, telecommuting and nomadic work,
where there are significant spillovers and collisions between an
employee's work and personal life (Hubers et al., 2018; CIPD,
2020). Hybrid workers expect to have some amount of autonomy and
flexibility in arranging their work patterns, while employers
wrestle with maintaining the status quo while managing these new
working arrangements (de Vaujany et al., 2021; Lehdonvirta, 2018;
Mazmanian et al., 2013; Sewell & Taskin, 2015). Both rely
heavily on information systems and digital technology more broadly
as an enabling or mediating interface, tool or infrastructure
(e.g. Kingma, 2019; Dorow & Jean, 2021).
