Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has fuelled the transformation of organisations from physical work environments to hybrid working environments. Some organisations have made the permanent change to a hybrid working environment – the hybrid working environment, herein, a mix of office and remote work.

The COVID-19 pandemic has fuelled the transformation of organisations from physical work environments to hybrid working environments. Some organisations have made the permanent change to a hybrid working environment – the hybrid working environment, herein, a mix of office and remote work. However, there is a limited body of literature to be found on the relation between organisational identification and organisations which have transferred from physical environments to hybrid environments. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to contribute to the understanding of how organisational identification is impacted by the shift to a hybrid working environment – originally, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, we investigate responses used by employees as well as organisations to cope with the hybrid working environment. Using the abductive approach for the research, we seek to identify clear relationships between the impact of transforming into a hybrid organisation and organisational identification. Moreover, we have taken an interpretive stance, as the qualitative data contains subjective interpretations and experiences of interviewees. Throughout we will inform the reader by visualising the conceptual process, which will be concluded with the ‘collective confirmation model’ in the discussion. By doing so, we aim to add to the problematisation of organisational identification in organisations that use the hybrid working environment. (Less)
