Theoretical perspective: The literature review consists of literature on the managerial role, the hybrid work model, and theory regarding how the manager's role influences the effectiveness of organisational strategy implementation
Methodology: This study is qualitative, and the empirical findings have been selected through purposive sampling and criteria-driven collection in the form of semi-structured interviews with eight senior managers.
Empirical foundation: The empirical foundation comprises the perspectives, reflections, and experiences of eight senior managers. The data consists of quotes from the conducted interviews.
Conclusion: How the manager's role has changed is primarily influenced by the initial qualities the manager possesses. This role has subsequently been affected by three fundamental changes. Firstly, managers are now responsible for choosing the appropriate meeting format. Secondly, managers need help establishing consensus on organisational goals due to decreased face-to-face interaction. Lastly, managers face challenges in fostering employee engagement digitally. The thesis finds that different tools manage the hybrid work model depending on the managers' qualities. This has resulted in a change in the qualities the manager uses to contribute to the effectiveness of organisational strategy implementation. (Less)
