Dominant Work Patterns in the IT Sector of the Republic of Serbia

Abstract

The conducted research focuses on work patterns in the IT sector, analyzing office-based work, the hybrid work model, and remote work. Previous studies have highlighted the choice of work pattern as a significant factor in organizational efficiency and employee well-being within the IT sector. The primary objective of this research is to determine the most dominant work pattern in organizations operating within the IT sector of the Republic of Serbia. The study was conducted on a sample of 190 employees from organizations in the Serbian IT sector. Data collection took place from September to December 2024 using an electronic questionnaire via Google Forms. The most dominant work pattern was identified through descriptive statistics using the statistical software SPSS IBM. The main findings indicate that the hybrid work model (a combination of office-based and remote work) is the most prevalent work pattern. Organizations that implement the hybrid work model can retain and attract highly qualified talent while providing greater flexibility to employees.
