The profound transformation of work models, particularly the widespread adoption of online and hybrid arrangements, necessitates a deeper understanding of their impact on employee well-being. This research paper provides a comprehensive review of the intricate connections between psychological resilience, work-life balance, and emotional burnout within these evolving environments. It explores the conceptual foundations of each construct, identifies the unique characteristics and inherent challenges of online and hybrid work, and analyses the complex interplay among these critical factors. This paper highlights how work-life imbalance can lead to burnout, how psychological resilience serves as a vital protective mechanism, and how the digital context exacerbates existing stressors while introducing new demands. Furthermore, it discusses evidence-based individual and organizational strategies to foster resilience, promote work-life balance, and mitigate burnout.
Three interrelated concepts emotional burnout, work-life balance, and psychological resilience emerge as crucial to understanding employee well-being within this changing paradigm. For people to successfully navigate the inherent uncertainties and demands of modern work, psychological resilience, which is defined as the ability to adapt to adversity is essential. A person's general quality of life and productivity are significantly impacted by work-life balance, which includes the fair allocation of time and contentment between the personal and professional spheres. On the other hand, emotional burnout marked by fatigue, cynicism, and decreased achievement is a serious and harmful consequence of ongoing, unchecked workplace stress.
