Sense of belonging in hybrid work settings - ScienceDirect

All people share fundamental psychological needs for belongingness, love, and care (Baumeister & Leary, 1995). The quality of interpersonal relationships shapes people's overall sense of fulfillment and happiness. In the work domain, the human need for belonging is fulfilled when the individual feels connected, respected, trusted, and socially supported in the work community, has a sense of membership, and experiences connectedness in relation to peers and supervisors at work. Satisfactory workplace relationships exist when there is an equilibrium between the expected and actual quality and quantity of relationships individuals have at work (Wright & Silard, 2021). According to Colbert et al. (2016), high-quality work relationships not only provide instrumental benefits like task assistance or career advancement, but opportunities for connecting with others in the form of positive emotions, friendship or companionship, and caring for and assisting others.
