This research article aimed: 1. To examine the level of attitudes and readiness among private company employees in Bangkok towards adapting to a hybrid work model, and 2. To analyze the factors influencing their attitudes and readiness for such a work arrangement. The study focused on six key factors: organizational policy, employee benefits, training, organizational technology, work environment, and coworker relationships. a quantitative research methodology was employed. The sample consisted of 385 private company employees in Bangkok, selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected via an online questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.87. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data.
The findings revealed that employees generally possess a moderately high level of attitude and readiness toward hybrid work. Significant positive predictors of employee attitude and readiness included organizational technology, coworker relationships, organizational policy, and work environment. In contrast, employee benefits had a significant negative impact, while training was not statistically significant. These results suggested essential directions for improving organizational policy and human resource management to align with the flexible work context of the modern era, thereby enhancing employee engagement, performance, and long-term sustainability.
