Selected social needs and motives in different models of work – an attempt at empirical verification

The aim of the data presented was to empirically verify the social context of the three work models (remote, hybrid and on-site) in the form of an assessment of the degree to which selected social needs and motives are satisfied. A group of 117 people, of whom 38 respondents worked on-site, 50 remotely and 29 hybrid, were surveyed using the Needs Assessment Questionnaire and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. The results indicate that people working in different work models have similar levels of satisfaction of the need for achievement, affiliation and dominance, and social support. The only differentiating need is autonomy. Hybrid and remote workers experience significantly more autonomy than those who perform their duties on-site. Gender further modifies the differences considered. The results obtained may provide an important voice in the discussion on the social perspective of different work models.
