This thesis explores the effects of psychological safety and team cohesion on high-performing teams within hybrid work settings. To achieve this, a survey was conducted in Germany, targeting professionals who work in hybrid environments that combine remote and in-office work. A range of statistical analyses were employed to examine the relationships among psychological safety, team cohesion, and high-performing teams with particular emphasis on the use of ordinal logistic regression to understand these dynamics.
The findings from this study indicate a significant positive relationship between psychological safety and team cohesion, reinforcing the idea that these factors are closely interlinked. Additionally, a positive relationship was identified between both of them and high-performing teams, suggesting that these elements contribute meaningfully to the effectiveness of teams operating in hybrid work settings. These results demonstrate that hybrid work environments can successfully foster high levels of psychological safety and team cohesion while offering employees the flexibility to work from home.
Moreover, the study underscores the relevance of these findings in the context of the evolving nature of work arrangements, where hybrid working is increasingly recognized as the future. As organizations continue to adopt and refine hybrid work models, understanding the conditions that support both psychological safety and team cohesion becomes crucial for maintaining and enhancing team performance. The implications of these findings are significant for organizations aiming to design work environments that not only support flexibility but also sustain high levels of team effectiveness and employee well-being. |
