Abstract

One of the offshoots of the pandemic that hit the world in 2019 is the hybrid working model. What initially started as a strictly work-from-home policy meta-morphosized into a hybrid work model? Among the different sectors this model has been widely prevalent in the IT sector Objective: The present study aims to develop a scale โ€“ Employee acceptance scale that can capture the perception of the IT employee was conducted to explore the level of acceptance of the hybrid work model among IT employees. Methodology: A descriptive research methodology was adopted. The Employee Acceptance Scale (EAS) was constructed and validated by the researcher after testing its reliability. Responses were collected using snowball technique from 220 employees and analyzed using SPSS. Findings: The EAS consisting of 24 items was framed. Upon administration of the scale the prevalence of a unified level of moderate acceptance was found uniformly across different types of organizations and among employees. Implications: As the hybrid working model has increasingly become the norm in different sectors this study helps in gauging the perception of one important stakeholder- the employee. The scale can be further extended to other sectors and other stakeholders.
