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).
