Objective:
This study explored the differences in perceptions of workplace culture of health, physical activity (PA), psychological well-being, and work productivity among three workforce settings.
Methods:
A mixed methods study design was utilized, including data from a questionnaire ( n = 520) and from interviews ( n = 20). Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, and multivariate analysis of variance, while qualitative data was analyzed using thematic content analysis.
Results:
Onsite employees had higher levels of total PA than both hybrid and remote employees ( P < 0.05). Additionally, hybrid employees reported higher levels of self-acceptance than both onsite and remote employees ( P < 0.05). Qualitative findings highlighted remote work's autonomy and flexibility, leadership's role, and work-from-home challenges.
Conclusions:
Remote and hybrid work is associated with both positive and negative well-being outcomes.
