The Impact of Collaboration Tools on Employee Productivity in Remote Hybrid Work Environments
| Resumo: | Hybrid work environments have become increasingly common, necessitating effective tools to ensure employee productivity and engagement. This study investigates how collaboration tools influence productivity among remote employees in hybrid work settings, focusing on task-technology fit, collaboration quality, and tool utilization as key factors. Drawing on task-technology fit theory and empirical studies, the research proposes a conceptual model to assess the interplay between these constructs. Using structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), the study tests hypotheses derived from the model. Results indicate that task-technology fit and collaboration quality significantly enhance employee productivity, whereas organizational support shows no direct effect. Employee productivity, in turn, modestly increases the frequency of collaboration tool use. These findings offer practical insights for organizations optimizing collaboration tools in hybrid environments. The study contributes to the literature by addressing the behavioral and organizational dimensions of tool use and highlighting their long-term impact on productivity. |
