“…Work flexibility provided during WFH can positively impact employee satisfaction and perceived productivity during WFH. These findings are also consistent with previous research, which found that the flexibility offered by telework significantly influences worker's satisfaction (Baltes et al, 1999;Mohammed et al, 2022;Yang et al, 2023) and productivity (Hashmi et al, 2021;Onyekwelu et al, 2022) while working from home. The freedom to choose when, where, and how workers engage with work-related tasks can provide comfort to craft their work environment, obtaining higher satisfaction, and the possibility to work anytime and anywhere can improve productivity.…”

“…A company that embraces flexible working arrangements can also enhance workers' commitment and motivation (Setiyani et al, 2019). Furthermore, the flexible working arrangement positively affects workers' productivity (Hashmi et al, 2021;Onyekwelu et al, 2022) and work performance (Msuya & Kumar, 2022). Based on those arguments and findings, this study develops the following hypothesis: H3.…”

“…Flow-state experiences that point towards a higher ability to concentrate more profoundly can also improve employees' perceived productivity (Al Jassmi et al, 2019;Prodanova & Kocarev, 2022). The flexibility to choose when and where employees work during WFH can lead to higher productivity (Aboelmaged & Elsubbaugh, 2012;Hashmi et al, 2021;Onyekwelu et al, 2022;Yang et al, 2023) and even improve job performance (Jamal et al, 2022;Msuya & Kumar, 2022). Several organizational supports provided by the companies during WFH, such as ergonomic furniture, appropriate ICT, and financial support, can improve employees' productivity (Baker et al, 2007;Kumar et al, 2023;Yang et al, 2023).…”

Objective: This study aims to identify the factors influencing employees' satisfaction and productivity in hybrid-working, such as reconciliation between professional and personal lives, flow experience, work flexibility, and organizational support. It also aims to analyze the effect of employees' satisfaction and perceived productivity on workers' intention to continue working hybrid in the future. Design/Methods/Approach: Data was gathered through an online questionnaire sent to potential participants. A total of 433 eligible respondents were collected for analysis. This study utilized Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to examine the connections between reconciliation, flow experience, flexibility, organizational support, employee satisfaction, perceived productivity, and workers' intention to continue with hybrid work. Findings: Consistent with the hypotheses, reconciliation, flow experience, flexibility, and organizational support are positively and significantly associated with employee satisfaction and perceived productivity while working from home. Employee satisfaction and perceived productivity also positively and significantly influence workers' intention to continue with hybrid-work. Originality: This study combines motivating factors and factors that focus on the relationship between employees and organizations to develop the antecedents affecting satisfaction and productivity during work-from-home. The findings of this study contradict the previous research regarding the influence of productivity on workers' intention to continue with hybrid work. Both satisfaction and perceived productivity significantly affect workers' intention to work hybrid in the future. This implies that employees feel higher satisfaction and productivity when working from home, hence the inclination to continue this particular working method. Practical/Policy implication: Given the results, top management and HR professionals should consider, at the earliest possible, to start implementing hybrid-work in the organizations. The findings imply that employees intend to continue with hybrid-work because they feel higher satisfaction and perceived productivity while working from home. Also, organizations can observe what factors can improve employee satisfaction and perceived productivity while working hybrid and utilize that information to provide a better working environment for employees and organizations.

“…To measure or operationalize corporate performance, researchers have employed performance metrics such as financial outcomes like return on investment, market share, sales growth (Nosike & Egbunike, 2021), return on investment (ROI), return on sales, and other financial ratios that serve as objective criteria of corporate performance. In this study, corporate performance is measured by how well a company is able to transform inputs into outputs in line with the study by Onyekwelu, Monyei, and Muogbo (2022). A firm's general financial health is gauged by corporate performance (Nworie & Mba, 2022).…”

Purpose: The study examined how management information system influences the performance of cement-producing firms in Southeast Nigeria. Specifically, the influence of the transaction processing system, decision support system and executive support system on firm performance was assessed. Research methodology: The research design deployed in the study was a descriptive survey while the population of the study compromised 143 staff in the accounting and management information system departments of the selected four (4) cement companies in Southeast Nigeria. Yamane formula for sample size was applied in determining the sample size of 141 out of the population size of 143. The researchers collected primary data using a structured questionnaire administered to the respondents. Pearson Product Moment Correlational analysis was applied to establish the relationship between the variables of the study at a 5% level of significance. Results: Transaction processing system, decision support system and executive support system have a significant and positive effect on the firm performance of cement-producing companies in Southeast Nigeria. Limitations: The results are more fittingly applicable to only cement manufacturing companies. Therefore, they cannot be generalized to other sub-sectors of the Nigerian manufacturing industry. Also, the findings are valid to the extent that the responses to the questionnaire are free from bias. Contribution: The study contributes to knowledge by filling the gap created by the lack of empirical research that uncovers the influence of management information systems on the performance of cement manufacturing firms in the context of Southeast Nigeria.
