There is currently limited understanding of how the shift to hybrid work impacts line managers. This symposium addresses this gap and presents emerging research that explores the roles and experiences of line managers in the hybrid work environment, the challenges they face and the effects of managing in hybrid work environments on their attitudes, behaviors, and well-being. The papers in this symposium examine line managers experiences with both quantitative and qualitative methods with data from different countries. The insights they provide are not only critical for advancing hybrid work research, but also have important practical implications to organizations in training, coaching, and supporting line managers in the hybrid workplace.
